§10.6(i) Recurrence Relations

If f_{\nu}(z)=z^{p}\mathop{\mathscr{C}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\lambda z^{q}\right), where p,q, and \lambda (\neq 0) are real or complex constants, then

10.6.4
f_{{\nu-1}}(z)+f_{{\nu+1}}(z)=(2\nu/\lambda)z^{{-q}}f_{\nu}(z),
(p+\nu q)f_{{\nu-1}}(z)+(p-\nu q)f_{{\nu+1}}(z)=(2\nu/\lambda)z^{{1-q}}f_{{\nu%
}}^{{\prime}}(z).
10.6.5
zf_{\nu}^{{\prime}}(z)=\lambda qz^{q}f_{{\nu-1}}(z)+(p-\nu q)f_{{\nu}}(z),
zf_{\nu}^{{\prime}}(z)=-\lambda qz^{q}f_{{\nu+1}}(z)+(p+\nu q)f_{\nu}(z).
