Although α and −α produce the same differential equation, it is conventional to define different Bessel functions for these two orders (e.g., so that the Bessel functions are mostly smooth functions of α). Bessel functions are also known as '''Cylinder functions''' or '''Cylindrical harmonics''' because they are found in the solution to Laplace's equation in cylindrical coordinates.
