Extract

Spherical Bessel functions which vanish at x = 1 and x = η (where η is an assigned positive constant less than 1) occur in the solution of many problems in applied mathematics. Such functions can be expressed in terms of Bessel's functions of the half odd integral orders in the form

where λ is a root of the equation
