Abstract

Let jvk denote the k-th positive zero of the Bessel function Jv(x). In this paper, we prove that for v > 0 and k = 1, 2, 3, ..., v-ak/21/3v1/3 v,k <v - ak/21/3v1/3 + 3/20ak 221/3/v1/3. These bounds coincide with the first few terms of the well-known asymptotic expansion jv,k ∼ v - ak/21/3v1/3 + 3/20ak 221/3/v1/3 as v → ∞, k being fixed, where ak is the k-th negative zero of the Airy function Ai(i), and so are "best possible". ©1999 American Mathematical Society.
