scipy.special.hankel1#
- scipy.special.hankel1(v, z) = <ufunc 'hankel1'>#
Hankel function of the first kind
- Parameters
- varray_like
Order (float).
- zarray_like
Argument (float or complex).
- Returns
- outValues of the Hankel function of the first kind.

Notes
A wrapper for the AMOS [1] routine zbesh, which carries out the computation using the relation,
\[H^{(1)}_v(z) = \frac{2}{\imath\pi} \exp(-\imath \pi v/2) K_v(z \exp(-\imath\pi/2))\]where \(K_v\) is the modified Bessel function of the second kind. For negative orders, the relation
\[H^{(1)}_{-v}(z) = H^{(1)}_v(z) \exp(\imath\pi v)\]is used.
