Weber Functions


Although Bessel functions of the second kind are sometimes called Weber functions, Abramowitz and Stegun (1972) define a separate Weber function as

These function may also be written as

E_nu(z)=sin(1/2pinu)_1F^~_2(1;1/2(2-nu),1/2(2+nu);-1/4z^2)-1/2zcos(1/2pinu)_1F^~_2(1;1/2(3-nu),1/2(nu+3);-1/4z^2),
(2)

where _1F^~_2(a;b,c;z) is a regularized hypergeometric function.

This function is implemented in the Wolfram Language as WeberE [nu, z] and is an analog of the Anger function.

Special values for real x include

E_0(x) = -H_0(x)
(3)
E_1(x) = H_1(|x|)
(4)
E_2(x) = [画像:H_0(x)-(2H_1(x))/x]
(5)

where H_n(z) is a Struve function.

Letting zeta_n=e^(2pii/n) be a root of unity, another set of Weber functions is defined as

(Weber 1902, Atkin and Morain 1993), where eta(tau) is the Dedekind eta function and tau is the half-period ratio. These functions are related to the Ramanujan g- and G-functions and the elliptic lambda function.

The Weber functions satisfy the identities

f(tau+1) = [画像:(f_1(tau))/(zeta_(48))]
(12)
f_1(tau+1) = [画像:(f(tau))/(zeta_(48))]
(13)
f_2(tau+1) = zeta_(24)f_2(tau)
(14)
[画像:f(-1/tau)] = f(tau)
(15)
[画像:f_1(-1/tau)] = f_2(tau)
(16)
[画像:f_2(-1/tau)] = f_1(tau)
(17)

(Weber 1902, Atkin and Morain 1993).
