Confluent Hypergeometric Functions

ⓘ

Keywords:: Bessel and Hankel functions, Bessel functions, Hankel functions, confluent hypergeometric functions, relations to other functions
Referenced by:: Erratum (V1.0.18) for Paragraph Confluent Hypergeometric Functions (in §10.16)
Clarification (effective with 1.0.18):: The confluent hypergeometric Whittaker functions in (10.16.7), (10.16.8), and the following sentence were incorrectly linked to the definitions of the Kummer confluent hypergeometric and parabolic cylinder functions. However, to the eye, the functions appeared correct.
