How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T23185970 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Bessel
Bessel is a German surname most notably associated with the 19th-century astronomer and mathematician Friedrich Bessel, known for his work on Bessel functions and precise stellar measurements.
-
B.
Bessel functions
Bessel functions are special mathematical functions that commonly arise as solutions to differential equations with cylindrical symmetry, widely used in physics and engineering.
-
C.
Kummer's function (confluent hypergeometric function)
Kummer's function, or the confluent hypergeometric function, is a special function that solves a simplified form of the hypergeometric differential equation and appears widely in mathematical physics, probability, and differential equations.
-
D.
Barnes G-function
The Barnes G-function is a special function that generalizes the superfactorial and is closely related to the gamma and multiple gamma functions in complex analysis and number theory.
-
E.
Fourier-Bessel series
A Fourier-Bessel series is an expansion of a function in terms of Bessel functions, analogous to a Fourier series but adapted to problems with cylindrical symmetry and radial coordinates.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
