Confluent Hypergeometric Function of the Second Kind
Gives the second linearly independent solution to the Confluent Hypergeometric Differential Equation. It is alsoknown as the Kummer's Function of the second kind, the Tricomi Function, or the Gordon Function. It is denoted 
and has an integral representation
(Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 505). The Whittaker Functions give an alternative form of thesolution. For small
, the function behaves as
