Abstract:

Roots of the transcendental equations \[ \frac {{{j_l}(\lambda )}}{{{y_l}(\lambda )}} = \frac {{{j_l}(\alpha \lambda )\frac {{{i_{l - 1}}(\alpha \lambda \sqrt {|\varepsilon |} )}}{{{i_l}(\alpha \lambda \sqrt {|\varepsilon |} }} - \frac {1}{{\sqrt {|\varepsilon |} }}{j_{l - 1}}(\alpha \lambda )}}{{{y_l}(\alpha \lambda )\frac {{{i_{l - 1}}(\alpha \lambda \sqrt {|\varepsilon |} )}}{{{i_l}(\alpha \lambda \sqrt {|\varepsilon |} }} - \frac {1}{{\sqrt {|\varepsilon |} }}{y_{l - 1}}(\alpha \lambda )}}\] and \[ \frac {{\eta {j_{l - 1}}(\eta ) - l{j_l}(\eta )}}{{\eta {y_{l - 1}}(\eta ) - l{y_l}(\eta )}} = \frac {{\frac {{|\varepsilon |}}{{1 + |\varepsilon |}}\alpha \eta {j_{l - 1}}(\alpha \eta ) - l{j_l}(\alpha \eta ) + \frac {{\sqrt {|\varepsilon |} }}{{1 + |\varepsilon |}}\alpha \eta {j_l}(\alpha \eta )\frac {{{i_{l - 1}}(\alpha \eta \sqrt {|\varepsilon |)} }}{{{i_l}(\alpha \eta \sqrt {|\varepsilon |)} }}}}{{\frac {{|\varepsilon |}}{{1 + |\varepsilon |}}\alpha \eta {y_{l - 1}}(\alpha \eta ) - l{y_l}(\alpha \eta ) + \frac {{\sqrt {|\varepsilon |} }}{{1 + |\varepsilon |}}\alpha \eta {y_l}(\alpha \eta )\frac {{{i_{l - 1}}(\alpha \eta \sqrt {|\varepsilon |)} }}{{{i_l}(\alpha \eta \sqrt {|\varepsilon |)} }}}}\] for the spherical Bessel functions of the first and second kind, ${j_l}(x)$ and ${y_l}(x)$, and for the modified spherical Bessel functions of the first kind, ${i_l}(x)$, have been computed. The ranges for the parameters $\sqrt {|\varepsilon |}$ and $\alpha$, the order l and the root index n are: \[ \sqrt {|\varepsilon |} = 1.0,10.0,100.0,500.0;\quad \alpha = 0.1(0.1)0.7;\quad l = 1(1)15;\quad n = 1(1)30.\]
