Kelvin Function
In applied mathematics, the Kelvin functions ber''ν''(''x'') and bei''ν''(''x'') are the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of :J_\nu \left (x e^ \right ),\, where ''x'' is real, and , is the ''ν''th order Bessel function of the first kind. Similarly, the functions kerν(''x'') and keiν(''x'') are the real and imaginary parts, respectively, of :K_\nu \left (x e^ \right ),\, where is the ''ν''th order modified Bessel function of the second kind. These functions are named after William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. While the Kelvin functions are defined as the real and imaginary parts of Bessel functions with ''x'' taken to be real, the functions can be analytically continued for complex arguments With the exception of ber''n''(''x'') and bei''n''(''x'') for integral ''n'', the Kelvin functions have a branch point at ''x'' = 0. Below, is the gamma function and is the digamma function. ber(''x'') For integers ''n'', ber''n''(''x'') has the series expan ...
