Hello to all. ***Mathematica evaluates correctly the following integrals (I have converted everything to InputForm) Assuming[p>0&&r>0,Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u]]*{Cos[u],Sin[u]},{u,0,2Pi}]] {(-2*I)*Pi*BesselJ[1, p*r], 0} Assuming[p>0&&r>0,Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u]]*{Cos[2*u],Sin[2*u]},{u,0,2Pi}]] {-2*Pi*BesselJ[2, p*r], 0} Assuming[p>0&&r>0,Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u]]*{Cos[3*u],Sin[3*u]},{u,0,2Pi}]] {(2*I)*Pi*BesselJ[3, p*r], 0} ***Can someone explain me why however fails to evaluate the general case (which is equal to {2Pi*(-I)^m*BesselJ[m,p*r],0}, cf. e.g. McLachlan 1955)? Assuming[p>0&&r>0&m>0,Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u]]*{Cos[m*u],Sin[m*u]},{u,0,2Pi}]] {Integrate[Cos[m*u]/E^(I*p*r*Cos[u]), {u, 0, 2*Pi}], Integrate[Sin[m*u]/E^(I*p*r*Cos[u]), {u, 0, 2*Pi}]} ***Also Mathematica fails to evaluate the following integrals (even for given m) Assuming[p>0&&r>0&m>0,Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u-v]]*{Cos[m*u],Sin[m*u]},{u,0,2Pi}]] {Integrate[Cos[m*u]/E^(I*p*r*Cos[u - v]), {u, 0, 2*Pi}], Integrate[Sin[m*u]/E^(I*p*r*Cos[u - v]), {u, 0, 2*Pi}]} ***which (cf. e.g. McLachlan 1955) are equal to {2Pi*(-I)^m*BesselJ[m,p*r]*Cos[v],2Pi*(-I)^m*BesselJ[m,p*r]*Sin[v]}) ***and as well the integral Assuming[p>0&&r>0,Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u-v]],{u,0,2Pi}]] Integrate[E^((-I)*p*r*Cos[u - v]), {u, 0, 2*Pi}] ***which is equal to 2Pi*BesselJ[0,p*r] ***Can somehow "help" Mathematica to evaluate these integrals (e.g last integral is evaluated by hand considering that the integral of a periodic function is the same regrardless where the integration begins)? ***I have tried to add these rules to Integrate. For example: Unprotect[Integrate]; Integrate[ Exp[-I*p_*r_*Cos[u_-v_]],{u_,0,2Pi},Assumptions->{p_>0,r_>0}]:= 2*Pi*BesselJ[0,p*r] Integrate[ Exp[-I*p*r*Cos[u-v]],{u,0,2Pi},Assumptions->{p>0,r>0}] 2*Pi*BesselJ[0, p*r] ***But I failed when I tried to add the more general rules. For example I can't make them work for both symbolic and numeric values of m. Any help will be greatly appreciate. Dimitris
