Let ω 2 = ω 2 + k 2 . The solution of (18) has the form of Bessel functions J|λ| (ωr) (and not Y|λ| (ωr) because of the minimal irregularity at r = 0). Now we have Z ∞ Z ∞ 0 Tn (t, r, z) = ωdω dk T̃ (ω, k)J|λ| (ωr)e−ω t eikz (19) −∞ 0 When t = 0, from (11), we have 0 e−iλθ δ(r − r0 )δ(z − z 0 ) = P (r, z) Tn (0, r, z) = θ1 r (20) and from (19): ∞ Z Z ∞ dk T̃ (ω, k)J|λ| (ωr)eikz ωdω Tn (0, r, z) = (21) −∞ 0 So one can solve for T̃ (ω, k): Z ∞ Z ∞ 1 T̃ (ω, k) = rdrJ|λ| (ωr)P (r, z)e−ikz dz 2π −∞ Z ∞ 0 1 0 0 = drJ|λ| (ωr)e−iλθ −ikz δ(r − r0 ) 2πθ1 0 0 e−iλθ 0 = J|λ| (ωr0 )e−ikz 2πθ1 (22) (23) (24) From this one can get Z ∞ T (t, r, θ, z) = Z dk −∞ 0 1 T (t, r, θ, z, r , θ , z ) = 2πθ1 0 0 ∞ ωdω 0 ∞ Z X n=−∞ ∞ X e (25) n=−∞ ∞ Z ∞ ωdω −∞ 0 iλ(θ−θ0 ) −ω 0 t ik(z−z 0 ) ×e 0 T̃n (ω)J|λ| (ωr)einθ e−ω t eikz e dkJ|λ| (ωr)J|λ| (ωr0 ) (26) The formula for T̄ is the same with ωdω replaced by − dω = −dω(ω 2 + k 2 )−1/2 . So ω0 Z ∞ 1 X iλ(θ−θ0 ) ∞ ωdωJ|λ| (ωr)J|λ| (ωr0 ) T (t, r, θ, z, r , θ , z ) = e 2πθ1 n=−∞ 0 Z ∞ 1 2 2 0 dke−(ω +k ) 2 t eik(z−z ) × 0 0 0 (27) −∞ R∞ p p 2 + x2 ] cos ax √ dx exp[−β = K (γ γ a2 + β 2 ), 0 0 γ 2 +x2 p then the k integral becomes 2K0 (ωζ), where ζ = t2 + (z − z 0 )2 . Hence we have If we use (3.961.2) of Gradshteyn–Rhyzhik, Z ∞ 1 X iλ(θ−θ0 ) ∞ e ωdωJ|λ| (ωr)J|λ| (ωr0 )K0 (ωζ) T̄ (t, r, θ, z, r , θ , z ) = − πθ1 n=−∞ 0 0 0 0 (28) The integral over ω may be found in (6.522.3) of Gradshteyn–Rhyzhik, giving us the Fourier-series representation of T̄ : |λ| ∞ r2 − r1 1 X iλ(θ−θ0 ) 1 e T̄ (t, r, θ, z, r , θ , z ) = − πθ1 n=−∞ r1 r2 r2 + r1 0 0 0 (29) p p where r1 ≡ (r − r0 )2 + ζ 2 and r2 ≡ (r + r0 )2 + ζ 2 . −r1 Let rr22 +r ≡ e−u . If we follow the steps illustrated in Smith, we get the final closed form 1 of T̄ : ∞ X 1 0 T̄ (t, r, θ, z, r , θ , z ) = − e−|λ|u+iλ(θ−θ ) 0 2πθ1 rr sinh u n=−∞ 0 0 0 sinh( 2π u) 1 θ1 = − 2π 0 2πθ1 rr sinh u cosh( θ1 u) − cos 2π (θ − θ0 ) θ1 (30) (31) When θ1 = 2π, 1 1 2 0 4π rr cosh u − cos(θ − θ0 ) 1 = − 2 2 02 0 2π (r + r − 2rr cos(θ − θ0 ) + (z − z 0 )2 + (t − t0 )2 ) T̄ (t, r, θ, z, r0 , θ0 , z 0 ) = − which agrees with (4).
