1: 12.1 Special Notation

… ►Unless otherwise noted, primes indicate derivatives with respect to the variable, and fractional powers take their principal values. ►The main functions treated in this chapter are the parabolic cylinder functions (PCFs), also known as Weber parabolic cylinder functions:

U\left(a,z\right)

V\left(a,z\right)

\overline{U}\left(a,z\right)

, and

W\left(a,z\right)

. …An older notation, due to Whittaker (1902), for

U\left(a,z\right)

D_{\nu}\left(z\right)

. …
