§7.6(ii) Expansions in Series of Spherical Bessel Functions

ⓘ

Keywords:: Fresnel integrals, error functions, expansions in spherical Bessel functions
Notes:: For (7.6.8) differentiate: use (7.2.1) for the left-hand side, and (10.47.7) and the second of (10.29.1) for the right-hand side. The same method can be used for (7.6.10) and (7.6.11). For (7.6.9) write the coefficients in the Chebyshev-series expansion of $\exp\left(a^{2}z^{2}\right)\operatorname{erf}\left(az\right)$ as integrals (§3.11(ii)), then apply (5.12.5), (7.6.2), and (13.6.9).
