16 CHAPTER 1. PRELIMINARIES<br />
The solutions <strong>in</strong> the case 0F1 can also be expressed <strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> Kummer functions<br />
with the Kummer formula:<br />

Conclud<strong>in</strong>g, we can separate the hypergeometric functions that satisfy a second<br />
order differential equation, <strong>in</strong>to two classes. The 2F1 functions with three<br />
regular s<strong>in</strong>gularities and the Kummer functions with one regular and one irregular<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gularity.<br />
The 0F1-functions are a special case <strong>of</strong> the Kummer functions. They are close<br />
to the <strong>Bessel</strong> functions, which we will deal with <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g section.<br />
1.3.2 <strong>Bessel</strong> <strong>Functions</strong><br />
Def<strong>in</strong>ition 1.19 The solutions V (LB1) <strong>of</strong> the operator<br />
LB1 := x 2 ∂ 2 + x∂ + (x 2 − ν 2 ) (1.11)<br />
with the constant parameter ν ∈ C are called <strong>Bessel</strong> functions. The two l<strong>in</strong>early<br />

respectively.<br />
Similarly the solutions <strong>of</strong><br />
LB2 := x 2 ∂ 2 + x∂ − (x 2 + ν 2 ) (1.14)<br />
are called the modified <strong>Bessel</strong> functions <strong>of</strong> first and second k<strong>in</strong>d and they are<br />
