Hello to all.
Mathematica evaluates correctly the following integrals
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)?
Any help will be greatly appreciate.
Thanks.
