Abstract

An expansion of the Whittaker function Wk, m(z) in terms of Bessel functions is given for 2m an integer or zero. Simple formulae are derived for the cases of m = 0, ½, 1 and . The case m = 0 provides expansions for the exponential, sine, cosine and similar integrals. The cases m = ½ and provide expansions for the irregular Coulomb wave functions having angular momenta zero and one.
