Bounds for the distance |cν,s− cν±1,s′ | between adjacent zeros of cylinder functions are given; s and s′ are such that @cν,s′′ ∈ ]cν,s, cν±1,s′ [; cν,k stands for the kth positive zero of the cylinder (Bessel) function Cν(x) = cosαJν(x)− sinαYν(x), α ∈ [0, π[, ν ∈ R. These bounds, together with the application of modified (global) Newton methods based on the monotonic functions fν(x) = x2ν−1Cν...
