scipy.special.ker#
- scipy.special.ker(x, out=None) = <ufunc 'ker'>#
- Kelvin function ker. - Defined as \[\mathrm{ker}(x) = \Re[K_0(x e^{\pi i / 4})]\]- Where \(K_0\) is the modified Bessel function of the second kind (see - kv). See [dlmf] for more details.- Parameters:
- xarray_like
- Real argument. 
- outndarray, optional
- Optional output array for the function results. 
 
- Returns:
- scalar or ndarray
- Values of the Kelvin function.
