KelvinKer

KelvinKer[z]

gives the Kelvin function TemplateBox[{z}, KelvinKer].

KelvinKer[n,z]

gives the Kelvin function TemplateBox[{n, z}, KelvinKer2].

Details

  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • For positive real values of parameters, TemplateBox[{n, z}, KelvinKer2]=Re(e^(-npii/2)TemplateBox[{n, {z, , {e, ^, {(, {pi, , {i, /, 4}}, )}}}}, BesselK]). For other values, is defined by analytic continuation.
  • KelvinKer[n,z] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex z plane running from to .
  • KelvinKer[z] is equivalent to KelvinKer[0,z].
  • For certain special arguments, KelvinKer automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • KelvinKer can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • KelvinKer automatically threads over lists.
