Definition:Bessel Function/Order

Definition
Consider Bessel's equation:


 * $x^2 \dfrac {\d^2 y} {\d x^2} + x \dfrac {\d y} {\d x} + \paren {x^2 - n^2} y = 0$

Let:
 * $\map {J_n} x$ denote the Bessel function of the first kind
 * $\map {Y_n} x$ denote the Bessel function of the second kind

be the solutions of Bessel's equation as defined.

The parameter $n$ is known as the order of the Bessel function.
