The modified Bessel function of the first kind is defined by $$I_{\nu}(z)=i^{-\nu}J_{\nu}(iz),$$ where $J_{\nu}$ is the Bessel function of the first kind.

Properties

Proposition: The following formula holds: $$I_{-\frac{1}{2}}(z)=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{\pi z}} \cosh(z).$$

Proof:

Proposition: The following formula holds: $$I_{\frac{1}{2}}(z)=\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{\pi z}}\sinh(z).$$

Proof:

Proposition: The following formula holds: $$I_{\nu}(z)=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} J_{\nu+k}(z) \dfrac{z^k}{k!},$$ where $J_{\nu}$ denotes the Bessel function of the first kind.
