The Parabolic Cylinder Functions are defined in Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of Mathematical Functions, A&S Chapter 19.
Maxima has very limited knowledge of these functions. They
can be returned from function specint
.
The parabolic cylinder function parabolic_cylinder_d(v,z)
. (A&S eqn 19.3.1).
The solution of the Weber differential equation
has two independent solutions, one of which is \(D_{\nu}(z)\) , the parabolic cylinder d function.
Function specint
can return expressions containing
parabolic_cylinder_d(v,z)
if the option variable
prefer_d
is true
.
