Struve function

In mathematics, the Struve functions $H α (x)$ , are solutions $y (x)$ of the non-homogeneous Bessel's differential equation:

x^{2}{\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}+x{\frac {dy}{dx}}+\left(x^{2}-\alpha ^{2}\right)y={\frac {4\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha +1}}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}

n\in [0,1,2,3,4,5]

introduced by Hermann Struve (1882). The complex number α is the order of the Struve function, and is often an integer.

And further defined its second-kind version $\mathbf {K} _{\alpha }(x)$ as $\mathbf {K} _{\alpha }(x)=\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(x)-Y_{\alpha }(x)$ .

The modified Struve functions $L α (x)$ are equal to $- ie - iαπ / 2 H α (ix)$ , are solutions $y (x)$ of the non-homogeneous Bessel's differential equation:

x^{2}{\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}+x{\frac {dy}{dx}}-\left(x^{2}+\alpha ^{2}\right)y={\frac {4\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha +1}}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}

And further defined its second-kind version $\mathbf {M} _{\alpha }(x)$ as $\mathbf {M} _{\alpha }(x)=\mathbf {L} _{\alpha }(x)-I_{\alpha }(x)$ .

Definitions

Since this is a non-homogeneous equation, solutions can be constructed from a single particular solution by adding the solutions of the homogeneous problem. In this case, the homogeneous solutions are the Bessel functions, and the particular solution may be chosen as the corresponding Struve function.

Power series expansion

Struve functions, denoted as $H α (z)$ have the power series form

\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(z)=\sum _{m=0}^{\infty }{\frac {(-1)^{m}}{\Gamma \left(m+{\frac {3}{2}}\right)\Gamma \left(m+\alpha +{\frac {3}{2}}\right)}}\left({\frac {z}{2}}\right)^{2m+\alpha +1},

where $Γ(z)$ is the gamma function.

The modified Struve functions, denoted $L α (z)$ , have the following power series form

\mathbf {L} _{\alpha }(z)=\sum _{m=0}^{\infty }{\frac {1}{\Gamma \left(m+{\frac {3}{2}}\right)\Gamma \left(m+\alpha +{\frac {3}{2}}\right)}}\left({\frac {z}{2}}\right)^{2m+\alpha +1}.

Integral form

Another definition of the Struve function, for values of $α$ satisfying $Re(α) > - .mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px;white-space:nowrap} 1 / 2$ , is possible expressing in term of the Poisson’s integral representation:

\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(x)={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{1}(1-t^{2})^{\alpha -{\frac {1}{2}}}\sin xt~dt={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}}\sin(x\cos \tau )\sin ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau ={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}}\sin(x\sin \tau )\cos ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau

\mathbf {K} _{\alpha }(x)={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\infty }(1+t^{2})^{\alpha -{\frac {1}{2}}}e^{-xt}~dt={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\infty }e^{-x\sinh \tau }\cosh ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau

\mathbf {L} _{\alpha }(x)={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{1}(1-t^{2})^{\alpha -{\frac {1}{2}}}\sinh xt~dt={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}}\sinh(x\cos \tau )\sin ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau ={\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}}\sinh(x\sin \tau )\cos ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau

\mathbf {M} _{\alpha }(x)=-{\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{1}(1-t^{2})^{\alpha -{\frac {1}{2}}}e^{-xt}~dt=-{\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}}e^{-x\cos \tau }\sin ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau =-{\frac {2\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}\int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{2}}e^{-x\sin \tau }\cos ^{2\alpha }\tau ~d\tau

Asymptotic forms

For small $x$ , the power series expansion is given above.

For large $x$ , one obtains:

\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(x)-Y_{\alpha }(x)={\frac {\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha -1}}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}+O\left(\left({\tfrac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha -3}\right),

where $Y α (x)$ is the Neumann function.

Properties

The Struve functions satisfy the following recurrence relations:

{\begin{aligned}\mathbf {H} _{\alpha -1}(x)+\mathbf {H} _{\alpha +1}(x)&={\frac {2\alpha }{x}}\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(x)+{\frac {\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {3}{2}}\right)}},\\\mathbf {H} _{\alpha -1}(x)-\mathbf {H} _{\alpha +1}(x)&=2{\frac {d}{dx}}\left(\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(x)\right)-{\frac {\left({\frac {x}{2}}\right)^{\alpha }}{{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\frac {3}{2}}\right)}}.\end{aligned}}

Relation to other functions

Struve functions of integer order can be expressed in terms of Weber functions $E n$ and vice versa: if $n$ is a non-negative integer then

{\begin{aligned}\mathbf {E} _{n}(z)&={\frac {1}{\pi }}\sum _{k=0}^{\left\lfloor {\frac {n-1}{2}}\right\rfloor }{\frac {\Gamma \left(k+{\frac {1}{2}}\right)\left({\frac {z}{2}}\right)^{n-2k-1}}{\Gamma \left(n-k+{\frac {1}{2}}\right)}}-\mathbf {H} _{n}(z),\\\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).\end{aligned}}

Struve functions of order $n + 1 / 2$ where $n$ is an integer can be expressed in terms of elementary functions. In particular if $n$ is a non-negative integer then

\mathbf {H} _{-n-{\frac {1}{2}}}(z)=(-1)^{n}J_{n+{\frac {1}{2}}}(z),

where the right hand side is a spherical Bessel function.

Struve functions (of any order) can be expressed in terms of the generalized hypergeometric function $1 F 2$ (which is not the Gauss hypergeometric function $2 F 1$ ):

\mathbf {H} _{\alpha }(z)={\frac {z^{\alpha +1}}{2^{\alpha }{\sqrt {\pi }}\Gamma \left(\alpha +{\tfrac {3}{2}}\right)}}{}_{1}F_{2}\left(1;{\tfrac {3}{2}},\alpha +{\tfrac {3}{2}};-{\tfrac {z^{2}}{4}}\right).
