Keywords:: Struve functions and modified Struve functions, power series, principal values, series expansions
Notes:: See Watson (1944, pp. 328–329) and Olver (1997b, pp. 274–276). The notation $\mathbf{M}_{\nu}\left(z\right)$ is new and this function has been introduced to play a similar role to $\mathbf{L}_{\nu}\left(z\right)$ that $\mathbf{K}_{\nu}\left(z\right)$ does to $\mathbf{H}_{\nu}\left(z\right)$ .

§11.2(iii) Numerically Satisfactory Solutions

ⓘ

Keywords:: Struve functions and modified Struve functions, differential equations, numerically satisfactory solutions
Notes:: See §2.7(iv) and Olver (1997b, pp. 274–277). The last reference restricts (11.2.15) to the sector $\left|\operatorname{ph}z\right|\leq\tfrac{1}{2}\pi$ , and instead covers the sector $\tfrac{1}{2}\pi\leq\operatorname{ph}z\leq\tfrac{3}{2}\pi$ with another set of solutions. (Similarly for the conjugate sector $-\tfrac{3}{2}\pi\leq\operatorname{ph}z\leq-\tfrac{1}{2}\pi$ .)
