(a, x) = <ufunc 'pbwa'>¶ Parabolic cylinder function W.
The function is a particular solution to the differential equation
\[y'' + \left(\frac{1}{4}x^2 - a\right)y = 0,\]for a full definition see section 12.14 in [1].
Parameters: - a : array_like
Real parameter
- x : array_like
Real argument
Returns: - w : scalar or ndarray
Value of the function
- wp : scalar or ndarray
Value of the derivative in x
Notes
The function is a wrapper for a Fortran routine by Zhang and Jin [2]. The implementation is accurate only for
|a|, |x| < 5
and returns NaN outside that range.References
