Struve function
In mathematics, the Struve functions Hα(x), are solutions y(x) of the non-homogeneous Bessel's differential equation: x 2 d 2 y d x 2 + x d y d x + ( x 2 − α 2 ) y = 4 ( x 2 ) α + 1 π Γ ( α + 1 2 ) {\displaystyle 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)}}} introduced by Hermann Struve (1882). The complex number α is the order of the Struve function, and is often an integer.
