Abstract

A result of Hurwitz is that the Bessel function J-v(c)(v 0,c 0) has no zeros for 2N v N + 1 with integer N. Here corresponding results for hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions are given. Extensions are obtained where the power series are terminated after 2N + 1 terms and larger zero-free intervals (2N,V) are found.
