The Bessel functions of the first kind, J v (z), with v > -1 are considered. On the basis of the general theorem on the representation of the reciprocal of an entire function in the form of Krein's series, an expansion of the function 1/J v (z) in simple fractions is obtained. This result is used to cal culate the sums of series of a certain structure that contain powers of positive zeros of Bessel functions.
