§10.27 Connection Formulas

Other solutions of (10.25.1) are Iν(z) and Kν(z).

10.27.1 In(z)=In(z),
10.27.2 Iν(z)=Iν(z)+(2/π)sin(νπ)Kν(z),
10.27.3 Kν(z)=Kν(z).
10.27.4 Kν(z)=12πIν(z)Iν(z)sin(νπ).

When ν is an integer limiting values are taken:

10.27.5 Kn(z)=(1)n12(Iν(z)ν|ν=n+Iν(z)ν|ν=n),
n=0,±1,±2,.
10.27.7 Iν(z)=12eνπi/2(Hν(1)(ze±πi/2)+Hν(2)(ze±πi/2)),
π±phz12π.
10.27.8 Kν(z)={12πieνπi/2Hν(1)(zeπi/2),πphz12π,12πieνπi/2Hν(2)(zeπi/2),12πphzπ.
10.27.9 πiJν(z)=eνπi/2Kν(zeπi/2)eνπi/2Kν(zeπi/2),

10.27.10 πYν(z)=eνπi/2Kν(zeπi/2)+eνπi/2Kν(zeπi/2),
|phz|12π.

Many properties of modified Bessel functions follow immediately from those of ordinary Bessel functions by application of (10.27.6)–(10.27.8).
