On the zeros of the second and third Jackson q-Bessel functions and their associated q-Hankel transforms

Abstract We investigate the zeros of q-Bessel functions of the second and third types as well as those of the associated finite q-Hankel transforms. We derive asymptotic relations of the zeros of the q-Bessel functions by comparison with zeros of the theta function. The asymptotics of q-Bessel functions are also given. Zeros of finite q-Hankel transforms of q-summable functions are shown to be real and simple except for a finite number of possible non real zeros. Sufficient conditions are given to guarantee that all zeros are real. We give some applications concerning zeros of combinations of q-Bessel functions.
