Re: Gamma Function - Bessel Function Identity

It seems to me you could derive this by using the Wronskian for Bessel
functions (+ some massaging) towork out the LHS, which will come out
with a sin() function in it, then you could rewrite the sin() as two
Gamma functions by using the reflection formula for the gamma
function, as in:
Gamma(1+k) Gamma(1-k) = k Gamma(k) Gamma(1-k) = k pi/sin(pi k).
Hope this is of some help,
Tom
