Hardy's 1939 results \cite{Hardy} on functions orthogonal with respect to their real zeros $λ_{n}, n=1,2,... $, we will consider, within the same general conditions imposed by Hardy, functions satisfying an orthogonality with respect to their zeros with Jacobi weights on the interval $(0,1)$, that is, the functions $f(z)=z^νF(z), ν\in \mathbb{R}$, where $F$ is entire and \begin{equation*} \int_{0}^{1}f(λ_{n}t)f(λ_{m}t)t^α(1-t)^βdt=0,\quad α>-1-2ν, β>-1, \end{equation*}% when $n\neq m$. Considering all possible functions on this class we are lead to the discovery of a new family of generalized Bessel functions including Bessel and Hyperbessel functions as special cases.10 pagesClassical Analysis and ODEsComplex Variablestext
