MathieuCharacteristicB

Usage

• MathieuCharacteristicB[r, q] gives the characteristic value for odd Mathieu functions with characteristic exponent r and parameter q.

Notes

• Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).

• The characteristic value

gives the value of the parameter

for which the solution has the form

where

is an odd function of

with period

• When

is not a real integer, MathieuCharacteristicB gives the same results as MathieuCharacteristicA.
