relate the two given mathematical functions

Parameters

 relate - literal name; 'relate' math_function_1 - Maple name of first mathematical function math_function_2 - Maple name of second mathematical function

Description

 • The FunctionAdvisor(relate, math_function_1, math_function_2) command attempts to relate the functions using the internal Maple algorithms. For more information, see convert[to_special_function].
 By default, the output has the simpler or more standard function on the left-hand side. This topic is similar to FunctionAdvisor/specialize, which allows you to specify which function is expressed in terms of the other one. This typically requires additional constraints in the function parameter(s) domain(s).

Examples

 > FunctionAdvisor( relate, sin, WhittakerM );
 ${\mathrm{sin}}{}\left({z}\right){=}{-}\frac{{I}}{{2}}{}{\mathrm{WhittakerM}}{}\left({0}{,}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{,}{2}{}{I}{}{z}\right)$ (1)
 > FunctionAdvisor( relate, KummerU, BesselK );
 ${\mathrm{BesselK}}{}\left({a}{,}{z}\right){=}\frac{\sqrt{{\mathrm{\pi }}}{}{\left({2}{}{z}\right)}^{{a}}{}{\mathrm{KummerU}}{}\left({a}{+}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{,}{2}{}{a}{+}{1}{,}{2}{}{z}\right)}{{{ⅇ}}^{{z}}}$ (2)
 > FunctionAdvisor( relate, HermiteH, erf );
 ${\mathrm{erf}}{}\left({z}\right){=}{-}\frac{{2}{}{\mathrm{HermiteH}}{}\left({-1}{,}{z}\right)}{\sqrt{{\mathrm{\pi }}}{}{{ⅇ}}^{{{z}}^{{2}}}}{+}{1}$ (3)
 > FunctionAdvisor( relate, HermiteH, LaguerreL );
 ${\mathrm{HermiteH}}{}\left({a}{,}{z}\right){=}{{2}}^{{a}}{}\sqrt{{\mathrm{\pi }}}{}\left(\frac{{\mathrm{LaguerreL}}{}\left(\frac{{a}}{{2}}{,}{-}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{,}{{z}}^{{2}}\right)}{\left(\genfrac{}{}{0}{}{{-}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{+}\frac{{a}}{{2}}}{\frac{{a}}{{2}}}\right){}{\mathrm{\Gamma }}{}\left(\frac{{1}}{{2}}{-}\frac{{a}}{{2}}\right)}{-}\frac{{2}{}{z}{}{\mathrm{LaguerreL}}{}\left({-}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{+}\frac{{a}}{{2}}{,}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{,}{{z}}^{{2}}\right)}{\left(\genfrac{}{}{0}{}{\frac{{a}}{{2}}}{{-}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{+}\frac{{a}}{{2}}}\right){}{\mathrm{\Gamma }}{}\left({-}\frac{{a}}{{2}}\right)}\right)$ (4)

Notice that a relation between KummerU and HermiteH does not exist for arbitrary values of their parameters.

 > FunctionAdvisor( relate, KummerU, Hermite );
 * Partial match of Hermite against topic HermiteH. Unable to establish a relation between KummerU and HermiteH

However, that relation does exist for a specialization of the function parameters

 $\left[{\mathrm{KummerU}}{}\left({a}{,}{b}{,}{z}\right){=}{\mathrm{HermiteH}}{}\left({-}{2}{}{a}{,}\sqrt{{z}}\right){}{{2}}^{{2}{}{a}}{,}{b}{=}\frac{{1}}{{2}}\right]{,}\left[{\mathrm{KummerU}}{}\left({a}{,}{b}{,}{z}\right){=}\frac{{\mathrm{HermiteH}}{}\left({-}{2}{}{a}{+}{1}{,}\sqrt{{z}}\right){}{{2}}^{{2}{}{a}}}{{2}{}\sqrt{{z}}}{,}{b}{=}\frac{{3}}{{2}}\right]$ (5)

and also the converse.

 ${\mathrm{ex1}}{≔}\left[{\mathrm{HermiteH}}{}\left({a}{,}{z}\right){=}{{2}}^{{a}}{}{\mathrm{KummerU}}{}\left({-}\frac{{a}}{{2}}{,}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{,}{{z}}^{{2}}\right){,}{0}{<}{\mathrm{\Re }}{}\left({z}\right){\vee }\left({\mathrm{\Re }}{}\left({z}\right){=}{0}{\wedge }{0}{<}{\mathrm{\Im }}{}\left({z}\right)\right)\right]$ (6)

The variables used by the FunctionAdvisor command to create the function calling sequences are local variables. Therefore, the previous example does not depend on z.

 > depends([ex1], a), depends([ex1], b), depends([ex1], z);
 ${\mathrm{false}}{,}{\mathrm{false}}{,}{\mathrm{false}}$ (7)

To make the FunctionAdvisor command return results using global variables, pass the function call itself.

 ${\mathrm{ex2}}{≔}\left[{\mathrm{HermiteH}}{}\left({a}{,}{z}\right){=}{{2}}^{{a}}{}{\mathrm{KummerU}}{}\left({-}\frac{{a}}{{2}}{,}\frac{{1}}{{2}}{,}{{z}}^{{2}}\right){,}{0}{<}{\mathrm{\Re }}{}\left({z}\right){\vee }\left({\mathrm{\Re }}{}\left({z}\right){=}{0}{\wedge }{0}{<}{\mathrm{\Im }}{}\left({z}\right)\right)\right]$ (8)
