can anyone give me a reference about the following kind of generalised spherical Bessel equation:
[ x 2 x 2 + 2 x x + k 2 ( x 2 + α x ) l ( l + 1 ) ] f ( x ) = 0
or for u ( x ) = x f ( x ):
[ x 2 + k 2 ( 1 + α x ) l ( l + 1 ) x 2 ] u ( x ) = 0.
I could not find any "modified" or "generalised" form of Bessel's equation that included a linear term like the k 2 α x term above.

With ρ = k x and u ( x ) = w ( ρ ), this equation becomes the Coulomb wave equation:
d 2 w d ρ 2 + ( 1 + a k ρ ( + 1 ) ρ 2 ) w = 0
Solutions of the initial equation are then
f ( x ) = A x F ( a k 2 , k x ) + B x F ( a k 2 , k x )
build from the Coulomb functions.
