KelvinKei

KelvinKei[z]
gives the Kelvin function kei(z).
KelvinKei[n, z]
gives the Kelvin function kei_n(z).
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • For positive real values of parameters, kei_n(z)=Im(e^(-npii/2)K_n(ze^(pii/4))). For other values, kei is defined by analytic continuation.
  • KelvinKei[n, z] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex z plane running from -infty to 0.
  • For certain special arguments, KelvinKei automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • KelvinKei can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
