Bessel Functions of the Third Kind (Hankel Functions)
The notation 𝒞 ν ( z ) denotes J ν ( z ) , Y ν ( z ) , H ν ( 1 ) ( z ) , H ν ( 2 ) ( z ) , or any nontrivial linear combination of these functions, the coefficients in which are independent of z and ν . …
12: 3.3 Interpolation
The final expression in (3.3.1) is the Barycentric form of the Lagrange interpolation formula. … … The ( n + 1 ) -point formula (3.3.4) can be written in the form
3.3.35 [ z 0 , z 1 , , z n ] f = k = 0 n ( f ( z k ) / 0 j n j k ( z k z j ) ) .
For example, for k + 1 coincident points the limiting form is given by [ z 0 , z 0 , , z 0 ] f = f ( k ) ( z 0 ) / k ! . …
13: Mathematical Introduction
The NIST Handbook has essentially the same objective as the Handbook of Mathematical Functions that was issued in 1964 by the National Bureau of Standards as Number 55 in the NBS Applied Mathematics Series (AMS). … With a few exceptions the adopted notations are the same as those in standard applied mathematics and physics literature. … Other examples are: (a) the notation for the Ferrers functions—also known as associated Legendre functions on the cut—for which existing notations can easily be confused with those for other associated Legendre functions (§14.1); (b) the spherical Bessel functions for which existing notations are unsymmetric and inelegant (§§10.47(i) and 10.47(ii)); and (c) elliptic integrals for which both Legendre’s forms and the more recent symmetric forms are treated fully (Chapter 19). … For equations or other technical information that appeared previously in AMS 55, the DLMF usually includes the corresponding AMS 55 equation number, or other form of reference, together with corrections, if needed. … His genius in the creation of the National Bureau of Standards Handbook of Mathematical Functions paid enormous dividends to the world’s scientific, mathematical, and engineering communities, and paved the way for the development of the NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions and NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions. …

  • Master Software Index

    In association with the DLMF we will provide an index of all software for the computation of special functions covered by the DLMF. It is our intention that this will become an exhaustive list of sources of software for special functions. In each case we will maintain a single link where readers can obtain more information about the listed software. We welcome requests from software authors (or distributors) for new items to list.

    Note that here we will only include software with capabilities that go beyond the computation of elementary functions in standard precisions since such software is nearly universal in scientific computing environments.

  • Open Source Collections and Systems.

    These are collections of software (e.g. libraries) or interactive systems of a somewhat broad scope. Contents may be adapted from research software or may be contributed by project participants who donate their services to the project. The software is made freely available to the public, typically in source code form. While formal support of the collection may not be provided by its developers, within active projects there is often a core group who donate time to consider bug reports and make updates to the collection.

  • Commercial Software.

    Such software ranges from a collection of reusable software parts (e.g., a library) to fully functional interactive computing environments with an associated computing language. Such software is usually professionally developed, tested, and maintained to high standards. It is available for purchase, often with accompanying updates and consulting support.
