contents The two-dimensional Helmholtz equation separates in elliptic coordinates based on two distinct foci, a limit case of which includes polar coordinate systems when the two foci coalesce. This equation is invariant under the Euclidean group of translations and orthogonal transformations; we replace the latter by the discrete dihedral group of N discrete rotations and reflections. The separation of variables in polar and elliptic coordinates is then used to define discrete Bessel and Mathieu functions, as approximants to the well-known continuous Bessel and Mathieu functions, as N-point Fourier transforms approximate the Fourier transform over the circle, with integrals replaced by finite sums. We find that these 'discrete' functions approximate the numerical values of their continuous counterparts very closely and preserve some key special function relations.
