Bessel's functions are often used in acoustics for describing circular membranes behaviour (exploited by most of the musical instruments). They are the solutions of the wave equations using polar coordinates. Set the properties of the membrane Bessel's functions describe the vibrational modes of the membrane.

The cost function covers the cost of producing an item, taking into account both the fixed costs of the production as well as the variable cost per unit. To calculate a cost function then requires complete knowledge of the inputs into production for accuracy.
