- Description
- One finds convergent solutions for the Whittaker-Hill equation destituted of free parameters by treating it as a particular case of the generalized spheroidal wave equation. Solutions in series of trigonometric functions result from the expansions in series of Gauss hypergeometric functions for the solutions of the GSWE. From these solutions, the four Arscott solutions are recovered when there are free parameters in the Whittaker-Hill equation.
