The spherical Bessel function of the first kind is defined by $$j_{\nu}(z)=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi}{2z}}J_{\nu + \frac{1}{2}}(z),$$ where $J_{\nu}$ denotes the Bessel function of the first kind.

Properties

Proposition: The following formula holds: $$1=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (2k+1)j_k(z)^2.$$

Proof:

Proposition: The following formula holds: $$\dfrac{\sin(2z)}{2z} = \displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (-1)^k(2k+1)j_k(z)^2.$$
