Bessel function - Wikipedia
Bessel functions describe the radial part of vibrations of a circular membrane. Bessel functions are mathematical special functions that commonly appear in problems involving wave motion, heat conduction, and other physical phenomena with circular symmetry or cylindrical symmetry.

Bessel function, any of a set of mathematical functions systematically derived around 1817 by the German astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel. They arise in the solution of Laplace’s equation when the latter is formulated in cylindrical coordinates. Learn more about Bessel functions in this article.

As Rainville pointed out in his classic booklet [Rainville (1960)], no other special functions have received such detailed treatment in readily available treatises as the Bessel functions. Consequently, we here present only a brief introduction to the subject including the related Laplace transform pairs used in this book.
