Edward, So far as I can tell, Matlab does not have these functions explicitly, but since it does have Bessel functions, it isn't too hard to work out the corresponding Kelvin functions. For Bessel functions of the first kind, the corresponding Kelvin functions are defined as KelvinR(v,x) + I*KelvinI(v,x) = BesselJ(v, x*exp[3*I*Pi/4] ) and KelvinR(v,x) -I * KelvinI(v,x) = BesselJ(v,x*exp[-3*I*Pi/4] ) Hence KelvinR(v,x) = (1/2) * {BesselJ(v, x*exp[3*I*Pi/4] ) + BesselJ(v,x*exp[-3*I*Pi/4] ) } KelvinI(v,x) = -1/(2*I) * {BesselJ(v, x*exp[3*I*Pi/4] ) - BesselJ(v,x*exp[-3*I*Pi/4] ) } Equivalent expressions exist for the Kelvin functions corresponding to Second-kind Bessel functions rgrds Tom Dr. Edward P.
