11: 28.8 Asymptotic Expansions for Large q
Also let ξ = 2 h cos x and D m ( ξ ) = e ξ 2 / 4 𝐻𝑒 m ( ξ ) 18.3). … The approximants are elementary functions, Airy functions, Bessel functions, and parabolic cylinder functions; compare §2.8. … The approximations are expressed in terms of Whittaker functions W κ , μ ( z ) and M κ , μ ( z ) with μ = 1 4 ; compare §2.8(vi). …With additional restrictions on z , uniform asymptotic approximations for solutions of (28.2.1) and (28.20.1) are also obtained in terms of elementary functions by re-expansions of the Whittaker functions; compare §2.8(ii). Subsequently the asymptotic solutions involving either elementary or Whittaker functions are identified in terms of the Floquet solutions me ν ( z , q ) 28.12(ii)) and modified Mathieu functions M ν ( j ) ( z , h ) 28.20(iii)). …

    The spectrum is mixed as in §1.18(viii), with the discrete eigenvalues given by (18.39.18) and the continuous eigenvalues by ( α γ ) 2 / ( 2 m ) ( γ 0 ) with corresponding eigenfunctions e α ( x x e ) / 2 W λ , i γ ( 2 λ e α ( x x e ) ) expressed in terms of Whittaker functions (13.14.3). The corresponding eigenfunction transform is a generalization of the Kontorovich–Lebedev transform §10.43(v), see Faraut (1982, §IV). … Derivations of (18.39.42) appear in Bethe and Salpeter (1957, pp. 12–20), and Pauling and Wilson (1985, Chapter V and Appendix VII), where the derivations are based on (18.39.36), and is also the notation of Piela (2014, §4.7), typifying the common use of the associated Coulomb–Laguerre polynomials in theoretical quantum chemistry. … The bound state L 2 eigenfunctions of the radial Coulomb Schrödinger operator are discussed in §§18.39(i) and 18.39(ii), and the δ -function normalized (non- L 2 ) in Chapter 33, where the solutions appear as Whittaker functions. … which corresponds to the exact results, in terms of Whittaker functions, of §§33.2 and 33.14, in the sense that projections onto the functions ϕ n , l ( s r ) / r , the functions bi-orthogonal to ϕ n , l ( s r ) , are identical. …
