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 ( a , z ) , V ( a , z ) , U ¯ ( a , z ) , and W ( a , z ) . …An older notation, due to Whittaker (1902), for U ( a , z ) is D ν ( z ) . …

By using instead coordinates of the parabolic cylinder ξ , η , ζ , defined by … Dean (1966) describes the role of PCFs in quantum mechanical systems closely related to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. … Lastly, parabolic cylinder functions arise in the description of ultra cold atoms in harmonic trapping potentials; see Busch et al. (1998) and Edwards et al. (1999).
