Conjecture on bounds for normalized Bessel eigenfunction constants

About 9 years old · traced to

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

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

where CpC_p is chosen so that ∥ep∥Hrad1(B)=1\lVert e_p\rVert_{H^1_{\mathrm{rad}}(B)}=1, equivalently

Cp=1πρp∣J1(ρp)∣.C_p=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}\rho_p\lvert J_1(\rho_p)\rvert}.

Bessel normalization conjecture. For every p∈N∗p\in\mathbb{N}^*,

12πp≤Cp≤12π(p−1/4).\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(p−3/2)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.
