Jackson q-Bessel function


In mathematics, a Jackson q-Bessel function is one of the three q-analogs of the Bessel function introduced by. The third Jackson q-Bessel function is the same as the Hahn–Exton q-Bessel function.

Definition

The three Jackson q-Bessel functions are given in terms of the q-Pochhammer symbol and the basic hypergeometric function by
