MathieuCharacteristicA
MathieuCharacteristicA
[
r
,
q
]
gives the characteristic value
a
r
for even Mathieu functions with characteristic exponent
r
and parameter
q
.
MORE INFORMATION
Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
The characteristic value
a
r
gives the value of the parameter
a
in
for which the solution has the form
where
is an even function of
z
with period
.
For certain special arguments,
MathieuCharacteristicA
automatically evaluates to exact values.
MathieuCharacteristicA
can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
MathieuCharacteristicA
automatically threads over lists.
