(simple) Bessel function integrals

Can anyone suggest a closed form for either of these integrals?

and

where
denotes the Bessel function of the first kind,
is a positive integer,
is any real number, and
is constant.

There are various formulae out there for integrals of this kind: for instance, equation 5.52 in Gradshteyn-Ryzhik tells us that

and Wolfram's website (for instance, here) lists similar formulae, mostly involving generalised hypergeometric functions.

(I have been able to reduce the problems I have been posting in other threads and MathSE down to these integrals.)

Re: (simple) Bessel function integrals

You could just replace it with
I guess, for

The first integral seems to be close to 1 for |k| small and close to 0 for |k| large.

May I see your M code and pardon my slow replies, I am having computer problems.

Re: (simple) Bessel function integrals

If we leave out the
(which can easily be done via substitution), then this code:

Integrate[r^(-1) BesselJ[1, r], {r, t, Infinity}]

returns something involving Struve functions, which is not a closed form solution. However, those Struve functions can be bounded.

I would like to be able to either solve these integrals in terms of

How did you determine that?

Re: (simple) Bessel function integrals

For d = 2, I mean. I just tried it in Wolfram Alpha, and their plot of the integral seems to stay at 1 for almost all positive r.

I agree with that too -- did you use NIntegrate?

No;

Integrate[BesselJ[1, x]/x, {x, 0, \[Infinity]}]

Re: (simple) Bessel function integrals

Oh, I see. The definite integral returns:

ConditionalExpression[
 1/2 (2 + BesselJ[1, t] (2 - \[Pi] t StruveH[0, t]) + 
    t BesselJ[0, t] (-2 + \[Pi] StruveH[1, t])), 
 Re[t] > 0 && Im[t] == 0]

Here t = |k| so both conditional expressions are automatically satisfied. Unfortunately I can't see a nice way of bounding those Struve functions without getting a power of |k| that is too large.

Re: (simple) Bessel function integrals

Also

Integrate[BesselJ[d/2, x]/x, {x, t, \[Infinity]}]

returns

ConditionalExpression[
 2/d - 2^(-1 - d/2) t^(d/2)
    Gamma[d/
    4] HypergeometricPFQRegularized[{d/4}, {1 + d/4, 1 + d/2}, -(t^2/

Re: (simple) Bessel function integrals

Hi;

We can clean that up a bit if we make the assumption that t is real and greater than 0.

Assuming[t > 0, Integrate[BesselJ[d/2, x]/x, {x, t, \[Infinity]}]]
