Sonine formula

Mathematical formula involving Bessel functions

In mathematics, Sonine's formula is any of several formulas involving Bessel functions found by Nikolay Yakovlevich Sonin.

One such formula is the following integral formula involving a product of three Bessel functions:

0 J z ( a t ) J z ( b t ) J z ( c t ) t 1 z d t = 2 z 1 Δ ( a , b , c ) 2 z 1 π 1 / 2 Γ ( z + 1 2 ) ( a b c ) z {\displaystyle \int _{0}^{\infty }J_{z}(at)J_{z}(bt)J_{z}(ct)t^{1-z}\,dt={\frac {2^{z-1}\Delta (a,b,c)^{2z-1}}{\pi ^{1/2}\Gamma (z+{\tfrac {1}{2}})(abc)^{z}}}}

where Δ is the area of a triangle with given sides.
