Abstract

Weber's parabolic cylinder equation, ( d²y dz²) + [v + 1 2 - ( z² 4)] y = 0, (*) has as solutions the parabolic cylinder functions, D_v(z) ~ z^v exp(- z² 4), z → + ∞. (**) The expansion (**) is generally not valid for z → - ∞. This situation leads to the so-called "lateral connection problem" for (*). A novel method of solution of this problem based on the Hadamard factorization theorem applied to the "lateral connection coefficient" is given. Unlike previous methods, explicit contour integrals for D_v(z) are not required.
