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: $U(a,z)$, $V(a,z)$, $\overline{U}(a,z)$, and $W(a,z)$. …An older notation, due to Whittaker (1902), for $U(a,z)$ is $D_{\nu }\left(z\right)$. …
