The Weber function is defined by $$\mathbf{E}_{\nu}(z)=\dfrac{1}{\pi} \displaystyle\int_0^{\pi} \sin(\nu \theta - z \sin(\theta))d\theta.$$

Properties

Theorem

The following formula holds: $$\sin(\nu \pi)\mathbf{E}_{\nu}(z)=\mathbf{J}_{-\nu}(z)-\cos(\nu \pi)\mathbf{J}_{\nu}(z),$$ where $\mathbf{E}_{\nu}$ denotes a Weber function and $\mathbf{J}_{\nu}$ denotes an Anger function.
