Re: [Help-gsl] Integration involving Bessel Function

[Gideon Simpson]

What you're trying to do is perform a Hankel transform of order 0 at wave 
number 1.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hankel_transform.  I think you're 
best bet, off the shelf, is to use the DHT, the discrete hankel transform, 
which is part of the GSL library.  If your function F(x) decays sufficiently 
rapidly, the DHT should be satisfactory.
