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 ν

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
ν as

These functions are also known as the first and second Hankel functions of order
ν.
In some applications you may also have to utilize the so-called modified Bessel
functions of the first kind of order ν defined as I
