WhittakerM

WhittakerM[k, m, z]
gives the Whittaker function M_(k,m)(z).
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • WhittakerM is related to the hypergeometric function by .
  • M_(k,m)(z) vanishes at z=0 for m>0.
  • For certain special arguments, WhittakerM automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • WhittakerM can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • WhittakerM[k, m, z] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex z plane running from -∞ to 0.
