MathieuC

MathieuC[a, q, z]
gives the even Mathieu function with characteristic value a and parameter q.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • The Mathieu functions satisfy the equation y^('')+(a-2q cos(2z))y=0.
  • For certain special arguments, MathieuC automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • MathieuC can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • MathieuC automatically threads over lists.
