In mathematics, the Neumann polynomials, introduced by
Carl Neumann for the special case
, are a sequence of polynomials in
used to expand functions in term of
Bessel function
Bessel functions, first defined by the mathematician Daniel Bernoulli and then generalized by Friedrich Bessel, are canonical solutions of Bessel's differential equation
