Addition (effective with 1.0.17):: A sentence was added just below (10.8.3) indicating that it is just a rewriting of (16.12.1).

For $J_{\nu}\left(z\right)$ see (10.2.2) and (10.4.1). When $\nu$ is not an integer the corresponding expansions for $Y_{\nu}\left(z\right)$ , ${H^{(1)}_{\nu}}\left(z\right)$ , and ${H^{(2)}_{\nu}}\left(z\right)$ are obtained by combining (10.2.2) with (10.2.3), (10.4.7), and (10.4.8).

When $n=0,1,2,\dotsc$ ,

10.8.1 $Y_{n}\left(z\right)=-\frac{(\tfrac{1}{2}z)^{-n}}{\pi}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{(n-% k-1)!}{k!}\left(\tfrac{1}{4}z^{2}\right)^{k}+\frac{2}{\pi}\ln\left(\tfrac{1}{2% }z\right)J_{n}\left(z\right)-\frac{(\tfrac{1}{2}z)^{n}}{\pi}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty% }(\psi\left(k+1\right)+\psi\left(n+k+1\right))\frac{(-\tfrac{1}{4}z^{2})^{k}}{% k!(n+k)!},$

where $\psi\left(x\right)=\Gamma'\left(x\right)/\Gamma\left(x\right)$ (§5.2(i)). In particular,

where $\gamma$ is Euler’s constant (§5.2(ii)).

For negative values of use (10.4.1).

The corresponding results for ${H^{(1)}_{n}}\left(z\right)$ and ${H^{(2)}_{n}}\left(z\right)$ are obtained via (10.4.3) with $\nu=n$ .

10.8.3 $J_{\nu}\left(z\right)J_{\mu}\left(z\right)=(\tfrac{1}{2}z)^{\nu+\mu}\sum_{k=0}% ^{\infty}\frac{{\left(\nu+\mu+k+1\right)_{k}}(-\tfrac{1}{4}z^{2})^{k}}{k!% \Gamma\left(\nu+k+1\right)\Gamma\left(\mu+k+1\right)}.$

Correction (effective with 1.1.2):: The Pochhammer symbol now links to its definition.

Note that (10.8.3) is just a rewriting of (16.12.1).
