With these definitions, a general solution of Bessel’s equation for all values of

In some instances, it is necessary to provide complex solutions to Bessel’s
equations by defining the Bessel functions of the third kind of order ν
as

(x) = J

These functions are also known as the first and second Hankel functions of
order ν.
In some applications you may also have to utilize the so-called modified
Bessel functions of the first kind of order ν defined as I

The modified Bessel functions of the second kind,

are also solutions of this ODE.
You can implement functions representing Bessel’s functions in the calculator
in a similar manner to that used to define Bessel’s functions of the first kind,
but keeping in mind that the infinite series in the calculator need to be
translated into a finite series.

In the calculator the function TCHEBYCHEFF generates the Chebyshev or
Tchebycheff polynomial of the first kind of order n, given a value of n > 0. If
the integer n is negative (n < 0), the function TCHEBYCHEFF generates a
Tchebycheff polynomial of the second kind of order n whose definition is
