Extract

Formulae for Bessel derivatives with respect to order have generally been obtained by differentiating integral forms of the Bessel functions. In this note an asymptotic expansion will be derived from the differential equation satisfied by the functions, and it will be obtained in a form which terminates when the order is half an odd integer. Previous discussion of these functions has been restricted to the order one half. (See, for example, Ansell and Fisher (1) and Oberhettinger(2).)
