§10.63(i) \mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x, \mathop{\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x, \mathop{\mathrm{ker}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x, \mathop{\mathrm{kei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x

Let f_{{\nu}}(x), g_{\nu}(x) denote any one of the ordered pairs:

Then

f_{{\nu-1}}(x)+f_{{\nu+1}}(x)=-(\nu\sqrt{2}/x)\left(f_{{\nu}}(x)-g_{\nu}(x)%
\right),
f_{{\nu+1}}(x)+g_{{\nu+1}}(x)-f_{{\nu-1}}(x)-g_{{\nu-1}}(x)=2\sqrt{2}f_{{\nu}}%
^{{\prime}}(x),
f_{{\nu}}^{{\prime}}(x)=-(1/\sqrt{2})\left(f_{{\nu-1}}(x)+g_{{\nu-1}}(x)\right%
)-(\nu/x)f_{{\nu}}(x),
f_{{\nu}}^{{\prime}}(x)=(1/\sqrt{2})\left(f_{{\nu+1}}(x)+g_{{\nu+1}}(x)\right)%
+(\nu/x)f_{{\nu}}(x).

§10.63(ii) Cross-Products

Let

10.63.5
p_{\nu}={\mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}x+{\mathop{\mathrm{bei%
}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}x,
q_{\nu}=\mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x{\mathop{\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}%
}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x-{\mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}%
}}x\mathop{\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x,
r_{\nu}=\mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x{\mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}%
}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x+\mathop{\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x{\mathop{%
\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x,
s_{\nu}=\left({\mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x\right)^{2%
}+\left({\mathop{\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x\right)^{2}.

Then

and

10.63.7p_{\nu}s_{\nu}=r_{\nu}^{2}+q_{\nu}^{2}.

Equations (10.63.6) and (10.63.7) also hold when the symbols \mathop{\mathrm{ber}\/}\nolimits and \mathop{\mathrm{bei}\/}\nolimits in (10.63.5) are replaced throughout by \mathop{\mathrm{ker}\/}\nolimits and \mathop{\mathrm{kei}\/}\nolimits, respectively.
