§11.4(i) Half-Integer Orders

§11.4(ii) Inequalities

11.4.13\mathop{\mathbf{H}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)\geq 0,x>0, \nu\geq\tfrac{1}{2}.

where

and |\nu_{0}+\tfrac{3}{2}| is the smallest of the numbers |\nu+\tfrac{3}{2}|, |\nu+\tfrac{5}{2}|, |\nu+\tfrac{9}{2}|,\dots.

§11.4(v) Recurrence Relations and Derivatives

where {\cal H}_{\nu}(z) denotes either \mathop{\mathbf{H}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) or \mathop{\mathbf{L}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right).

§11.4(vi) Derivatives with Respect to Order

For derivatives with respect to the order \nu, see Apelblat (1989) and Brychkov and Geddes (2005).

§11.4(vii) Zeros

For properties of zeros of \mathop{\mathbf{H}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right) see Steinig (1970).

For asymptotic expansions of zeros of \mathop{\mathbf{H}_{{0}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right) see MacLeod (2002a).
