Function Documentation

The Struve function, denoted is defined as where is the gamma function. The function computes the Struve function Hv(x) of order v, argument x. Negative x is rejected unless v is an integer.

This module also contains the hypergeometric functions 1F2 and 3F0 and a routine for the Bessel function Yv(x) with noninteger v.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/maths/special/bessel/struve.h>
 
int main()
{
  printf("\nStruve\n  x      v=0      v=1      v=2      v=3      v=4      v=5");
  for(double x=-5; x<6; x++)
  {
    printf("\nx=%.1lf",x);
    for(int v=0;v<=5;v++)
      printf(" %8.6lf", Maths::Special::Bessel::struve(x,v));
  }
  return 0;
}
