KelvinKei

KelvinKei[z]
gives the Kelvin function

gives the Kelvin function

For positive real values of parameters, . For other values, is defined by analytic continuation.

KelvinKei has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex z plane running from to .

For certain special arguments, KelvinKei automatically evaluates to exact values.
