Dear Mathgroup,
Could someone please show me how to simplify a
function by using its recurrence relations.
As a simple example, let's take the Bessel
recurrence
relation
BesselJ[n+1,z]= 2n/z BesselJ[n,z]-BesselJ[n-1,z].
How do I get Mathematica (5.2 !) to evaluate
D[BesselJ[2,x],x]
as (1-4/x^2)BesselJ[1,x]+ 2/x BesselJ[0,x]
instead of (BesselJ[1,x]-BesselJ[3,x])/2 ?
[Basically, reduce the order to 0 &/or 1, so that
all
J0 and J1 can be factored out later.]
Thanking you in advance.
Ajit.
