Sonine-Schafheitlin Formula


For R[mu+nu-lambda+1]>0, R[lambda]>-1, and 0<a<b, the Sonine-Schafheitlin formula is

 int_0^inftyJ_mu(at)J_nu(bt)t^(-lambda)dt=(a^muGamma[(mu+nu-lambda+1)/2])/(2^lambdab^(mu-lambda+1)Gamma[(-mu+nu+lambda+1)/2]Gamma(mu+1))_2F_1((mu+nu-lambda+1)/2,(mu-nu-lambda+1)/2;mu+1;a^2/b^2),

where J_nu(x) is a Bessel function of the first kind, Gamma(x) is the gamma function, and _2F_1(a,b;c;x) is a hypergeometric function. Equivalently, this is the n=2 specialization of the Weber-Schafheitlin integral, since F_C^((1))=_2F_1. The exponent parameter in that entry is 1-lambda.

Sonine (1880, pp. 51-52) evaluated the integral for all convergent parameter values, and Schafheitlin (1887) later investigated it in detail (Watson 1966, pp. 398-403).
