Some verification of equation on the article of Bessel Function

In summary, the article on Bessel Functions discusses the various ways to verify the accuracy of equations related to these special functions. These methods include checking for orthogonality, using integral representations, and examining the behavior of the functions at infinity. The article also highlights the importance of understanding the properties and behaviors of Bessel Functions in order to properly utilize them in mathematical and scientific applications. By verifying the equations, we can ensure the reliability and usefulness of these functions in solving complex problems.

I want to verify there are typos in page 11 of http://math.arizona.edu/~zakharov/BesselFunctions.pdf

1) Right below equation (51)

[tex]\frac{1}{2\pi}\left(e^{j\theta}-e^{-j\theta}\right)^{n+q}e^{-jn\theta}=\left(1-e^{-2j\theta}\right)^n\left(e^{j\theta}-e^{-j\theta}\right)^q[/tex]
There should not be ##\frac {1}{2\pi}## on the left hand side. That will not work.



2)Then in equation (52)
[tex]A_n(z)=\left(\frac z 2 \right)^n\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+2k)!}\left(\frac z 2 \right)^k I_{k,n} [/tex]
Should have a 2 in the power of k. Also, since ##p=n+2k##, It should be:
[tex]A_n(z)=\left(\frac z 2\right)^n\sum_{n+2k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+2k)!}\left(\frac z 2\right)^{2k} I_{k,n} [/tex]
As ##p=n+q## where ##q=2k## for even order. Therefore ##p=n+2k##.
To further prove my assertion, if you look at the bottom of the page 11:
[tex]A_n(z)=\left(\frac z 2 \right)^n\sum_0^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{k!(n+k)!}\left(\frac z 2 \right)^k ≠J_n(z)[/tex]
[tex]J_n(z)\;=\;\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{k!(n+k)!}\left(\frac z 2 \right)^{2k+n} [/tex]

I don't even know how to set the lower limit of the ##\sum## as I stated that the original was ##\sum_{p=0}^{\infty}##, all of a sudden, it becomes ##\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}## which should be ##\sum_{n+2k=0}^{\infty}##

I was thinking, the reason ##\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}## is because even though ##p=n+2k##, n is really a constant and the ##\left(\frac{z}{2}\right)^n## can be moved totally out of the ##\sum##. So the ##\sum## is really for series representation of the exponential functions. Therefore, we start with k=0. What do you think?

Thanks
