The parabolic cylinder functions are a class of functions sometimes called Weber functions. There are a number of slightly different definitions in use by various authors.
Whittaker and Watson (1990, p. 347) define the parabolic cylinder functions as solutions to the Weber differential equation
(1) |
The two independent solutions are given by and , where
(2) |
|||
(3) |
which, in the right half-plane , is equivalent to
(4) |
where is the Whittaker function (Whittaker and Watson 1990, p. 347; Gradshteyn and Ryzhik 2000, p. 1018) and is a confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind.
This function is implemented in the Wolfram Language as ParabolicCylinderD[nu, z].
For a nonnegative integer , the solution reduces to

where is a Hermite polynomial and is a modified Hermite polynomial. Special cases include

(8) |
for , where is an modified Bessel function of the second kind.
Plots of the function in the complex plane are shown above.
The parabolic cylinder functions satisfy the recurrence relations

(10) |
The parabolic cylinder function for integral can be defined in terms of an integral by
(11) |
(Watson 1966, p. 308), which is similar to the Anger function. The result
(12) |
where is the Kronecker delta, can also be used to determine the coefficients in the expansion
(13) |
as

For real,
(15) |
(Gradshteyn and Ryzhik 2000, p. 885, 7.711.3), where is the gamma function and is the polygamma function of order 0.
Abramowitz and Stegun (1972, p. 686) define the parabolic cylinder functions as solutions to
(16) |
sometimes called the parabolic cylinder differential equation (Zwillinger 1995, p. 414; Zwillinger 1997, p. 126). This can be rewritten by completing the square,

Now letting

Equation (◇) has the two standard forms

For a general , the even and odd solutions to (◇) are

where is a confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind. If is a solution to (22), then (23) has solutions
