Basic properties of incomplete Macdonald function with applications (Q2218745)

The purpose of this paper is to derive key properties of the Shu function \(S_{\nu}\), such as recurrence and differential relations and series and asymptotic expansions. A parabolic partial differential equation for \(S_{\nu}\) with a modified Bessel operator is derived. The proofs use integration by parts, incomplete gamma function, approximation of Macdonald function. Graphs for leading term approximations are shown.
