Abstract
ABSTRACTAn earlier method for obtaining indefinite integrals of special function from the second-order linear equations which define them has been reformulated in terms of Riccati equations, which are nonlinear and first-order. For this application the nonlinearity is not a problem and the first-order property is a great advantage. Integrals can be derived using fragments of these Riccati equations and here only two specific fragment types are examined in detail. These fragments allow general integration formulas to be derived using quadrature. Other results will be presented separately. Results are presented here for Airy functions, Bessel functions, complete elliptic integrals, associated Legendre functions and Gauss hypergeometric functions. All results have been checked by differentiation using Mathematica.
