Bear of an integral












10












$begingroup$


I have a pretty ferocious integral to solve, and would be over the moon if I were able to get some sort of analytic expression / insight for it.



$$ I = int_{r}^{infty} r_0^{-5/2} W_{-ialpha'/2, nu}left(frac{-ir_0^2omega'}{L}right) W_{-ialpha/2, nu}left(frac{-ir_0^2omega}{L}right) (i^beta J_{beta}left(-ihat{k}r_0right)) dr_0$$



All I've really done so far is look at the integrand in Mathematica (plotting Abs(integrand)):



log(I) vs. r0



Where $W$ is the $W$ Whittaker function (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/WhittakerFunction.html) and $J$ is the Bessel function of the first kind (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BesselFunctionoftheFirstKind.html )



And also expand the integrand for small $r_0$ to gain some insight as to what happens at small $r$, but this is far too imprecise for the application
(particular solution of a differential equation using Sturm-Liouville theory). For the application, the best thing I could do is write $I = I_0 + f(r)$ where $I_0$ is some analytically determined constant. r-dependence is the first datum of importance, and then $hat{k},omega',alpha, beta, omega, alpha'$ dependence. Note that these constants should be positive.



If it helps, note that $omega' = omega + hat{omega}$ and $alpha = k^2L/2omega, alpha' = (k+hat{k})^2 L /(2 omega')$

    This doesn't help for $rrightarrowinfty$ ? Together with an asymptotic expansion of $J_0$ dlmf.nist.gov/13.19 (13.19.3)

    So I'm interested in $r rightarrow 0$ (should've specified). In this case the asymptotic forms hold for the piece of the integral that is very large, when the functions become oscillatory and those pieces of the integral are zero. Really I'm interested in what happens in between very small r and large r (the middle portion)

    When I first read the title, I thought you were developing a new concept, as in defining the "bear" of the integral.

    If you're interested in an analytical solution, you may want to take a look at the method of bracket, which appears to be quite powerful at computing these types of integral that can be expressed in series form. Here are a few of papers that outline and give examples of the approach: arxiv.org/abs/0812.3356, arxiv.org/abs/1004.2062, and arxiv.org/abs/1707.08942.
