(For other notation see Notation for the Special Functions.)

x real variable.
z complex variable.
\nu real or complex order.
n integer order.
k nonnegative integer.
\delta arbitrary small positive constant.

Unless indicated otherwise, primes denote derivatives with respect to the argument. For the functions \mathop{J_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), \mathop{Y_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), \mathop{{H^{{(1)}}_{{\nu}}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), \mathop{{H^{{(2)}}_{{\nu}}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), \mathop{I_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), and \mathop{K_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) see §§10.2(ii), 10.25(ii).

The functions treated in this chapter are the Struve functions \mathop{\mathbf{H}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) and \mathop{\mathbf{K}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), the modified Struve functions \mathop{\mathbf{L}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) and \mathop{\mathbf{M}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), the Lommel functions \mathop{s_{{{\mu},{\nu}}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) and \mathop{S_{{{\mu},{\nu}}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), the Anger function \mathop{\mathbf{J}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), the Weber function \mathop{\mathbf{E}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), and the associated Anger–Weber function \mathop{\mathbf{A}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right).
