On replacing the parameter n in Bessel's differential equation

1.1

by the operator y(∂/∂y), the partial differential equation Lu = 0 is constructed, where

1.2

This operator annuls u(x, y) = v(x)yn if, and only if, v(x) satisfies (1.1) and hence is a cylindrical function of order n. Thus every generating function of a set of cylindrical functions is a solution of Lu = 0.

It is shown in § 2 that the partial differential equation Lu = 0 is invariant under a three-parameter Lie group. This group is then applied to the systematic determination of generating functions for Bessel functions, following the methods employed in two previous papers (4; 5).
