For the case n = 0, the Bessel function of the second kind is defined as

With these definitions, a general solution of Bessel’s equation for all values of

In some instances, it is necessary to provide complex solutions to Bessel’s
equations by defining the Bessel functions of the third kind of order

These functions are also known as the first and second Hankel functions of order

In some applications you may also have to utilize the so-called modified Bessel
