§10.50 Wronskians and Cross-Products

ⓘ

Keywords:: Wronskians, cross-products, spherical Bessel functions
Notes:: That the Wronskians are constant multiples of $z^{-2}$ follows from (1.13.5). The constants can be found from the limiting forms (and their derivatives) given in §§10.52(i) or 10.52(ii). For (10.50.3) combine (10.50.1) with (10.51.1) and (10.51.2). For (10.50.4) use (10.49.2)–(10.49.5).

where $a_{k}(n+\tfrac{1}{2})$ is given by (10.49.1).

Results corresponding to (10.50.3) and (10.50.4) for ${\mathsf{i}^{(1)}_{n}}\left(z\right)$ and ${\mathsf{i}^{(2)}_{n}}\left(z\right)$ are obtainable via (10.47.12).
