Conjecture on bounds for normalized Bessel eigenfunction constants

Let BB be the unit disk, let (ρp)pN(\rho_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}^*} be the positive roots of the Bessel function J0J_0, and define

ep(x)=CpJ0(ρpx),e_p(\boldsymbol{x})=C_pJ_0(\rho_p\lvert\boldsymbol{x}\rvert),

where CpC_p is chosen so that epHrad1(B)=1\lVert e_p\rVert_{H^1_{\mathrm{rad}}(B)}=1, equivalently

Cp=1πρpJ1(ρp).C_p=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}\rho_p\lvert J_1(\rho_p)\rvert}.

Bessel normalization conjecture. For every pNp\in\mathbb{N}^*,

12πpCp12π(p1/4).\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi p}}\leq C_p\leq\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi(p-1/4)}}.

The paper notes that the bounds are consistent with the known asymptotic expansion Cp=1/2πp+O(p3/2)C_p=1/\sqrt{2\pi p}+O(p^{-3/2}) and reports strong numerical evidence, but states that the conjecture seems hard to establish and that no proof was found in the literature.
