Hi, I have defined a differential operator, but what's the syntax for using it in DSolve? I have the Bessel operator B[m_, f_] := (D[f[#], {#, 2}] + 1/# D[f[#], {#, 1}] + (1 - m^2/#^2) f[#]) & It's the Bessel operator for now, but I will soon replace it with a different one. This is for testing puposes only. Now, how do I use it in DSolve? So far I use DSolve[S''[r] + 1/r S'[r] + (1 - m^2/r^2) S[r] == 0, S[r], r] but that's not a good solution because I have to different expressions for the same thing. I want to used B only. Many thanks in advance, Aaron
