According to Wikipedia - Struve function: Relation to other functions the WeberE
function should return this, if the first argument is a negative integer:
$$ \mathbf{E}_{-n}(z) = \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{\pi}\sum_{k=0}^{\left \lfloor \frac{n-1}{2} \right \rfloor} \frac{\Gamma(n-k-\frac{1}{2}) \left (\frac{z}{2} \right )^{-n+2k+1}}{\Gamma \left (k+ \frac{3}{2} \right)}-\mathbf{H}_{-n}(z) $$
But in Wolfram language it only returns a formula with an alternating sign from the corresponding positive integer argument?
>> Table[WeberE[n, z], {n, 1, 10}] == Table[(-1)^n*WeberE[n, z], {n, -1, -10,-1}]
True
Is the WeberE
function for negative first integer argument defined different from the Wikipedia definition?
Update: the Wikipedia equation is edited now. See below
WeberE[-n, x] == Cos[n Pi] WeberE[n, x] - Sin[n Pi] AngerJ[n, x]
.Maybe this series is wrong and Mathematica gives correct answer. $\endgroup$StruveH
function. The definitions from 12.3.6 and 12.3.7 seem to be the same as in Wikipedia. $\endgroup$
