Let \(u=J_{v}(\lambda z)\) and \(v=J_{v}(\mu z)\). Multiply the Bessel DE for \(u\) by \(v / z\) and that of \(v\) by \(u / z\). Subtract the two equations to obtain $$ \left(\lambda^{2}-\mu^{2}\right) z u v=\frac{d}{d z}\left[z\left(u \frac{d v}{d z}-v \frac{d u}{d z}\right)\right] . $$ (a) Write the above equation in terms of \(J_{v}(\lambda z)\) and \(J_{v}(\mu z)\) and integrate both sides with respect to \(z\). (b) Now divide both sides by \(\lambda^{2}-\mu^{2}\) and take the limit as \(\mu \rightarrow \lambda\). You will need to use L'Hôpital's rule. (c) Substitute for \(J_{v}^{\prime \prime}(\lambda z)\) from the Bessel DE and simplify to get $$ \int z\left[J_{v}(\lambda z)\right]^{2} d z=\frac{z^{2}}{2}\left\\{\left[J_{v}^{\prime}(\lambda z)\right]^{2}+\left(1-\frac{v^{2}}{\lambda^{2} z^{2}}\right)\left[J_{v}(\lambda z)\right]^{2}\right\\} $$ (d) Finally, let \(\lambda=x_{v n} / a\), where \(x_{v n}\) is the \(n\) th root of \(J_{v}\), and use Eq. (15.47) to arrive at $$ \int_{0}^{a} z J_{v}^{2}\left(\frac{x_{v n}}{a} z\right) d z=\frac{a^{2}}{2} J_{v+1}^{2}\left(x_{v n}\right) . $$
Use the recurrence relation for the Bessel function to show that \(J_{1}(z)=-J_{0}^{\prime}(z)\).
Transform \(d w / d z+w^{2}+z^{m}=0\) by making the substitution \(w=\) \((d / d z) \ln v .\) Now make the further substitutions $$ v=u \sqrt{z} \text { and } t=\frac{2}{m+2} z^{1+(1 / 2) m} $$ to show that the new DE can be transformed into a Bessel equation of order \(1 /(m+2)\).
Consider the function \(v(z) \equiv z^{r}(1-z)^{s} F\left(\alpha_{1}, \beta_{1} ; \gamma_{1} ; 1 / z\right)\) and assume that it is a solution of HGDE. Find a relation among \(r, s, \alpha_{1}, \beta_{1}\), and \(\gamma_{1}\) such that \(v(z)\) is written in terms of three parameters rather than five. In particular, show that one possibility is $$ v(z)=z^{\alpha-\gamma}(1-z)^{\gamma-\alpha-\beta} F(\gamma-\alpha, 1-\alpha ; 1+\beta-\alpha ; 1 / z) . $$ Find all such possibilities.
The linear combination $$ \begin{aligned} \Psi(\alpha, \gamma ; z) \equiv & \frac{\Gamma(1-\gamma)}{\Gamma(\alpha-\gamma+1)} \Phi(\alpha, \gamma ; z) \\ &+\frac{\Gamma(\gamma-1)}{\Gamma(\alpha)} z^{1-\gamma} \Phi(\alpha-\gamma+1,2-\gamma ; z) \end{aligned} $$ is also a solution of the CHGDE. Show that the Hermite polynomials can be Written as $$ H_{n}\left(\frac{z}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=2^{n} \Psi\left(-\frac{n}{2}, \frac{1}{2} ; \frac{z^{2}}{2}\right) $$.
