scipy.special.lmbda

scipy.special.lmbda(v, x)

Jahnke-Emden Lambda function, Lambdav(x).

This function is defined as [2],

\[\Lambda_v(x) = \Gamma(v+1) \frac{J_v(x)}{(x/2)^v},\]

where \(\Gamma\) is the gamma function and \(J_v\) is the Bessel function of the first kind.

Parameters:

vfloat

Order of the Lambda function

xfloat

Value at which to evaluate the function and derivatives

Returns:

vlndarray

Values of Lambda_vi(x), for vi=v-int(v), vi=1+v-int(v), …, vi=v.

dlndarray

Derivatives Lambda_vi’(x), for vi=v-int(v), vi=1+v-int(v), …, vi=v.
