Notes:
Properties of a relativistic plasma dispersion function (PDF) that is required for the description of waves propagating perpendicular to a magnetic field in a fully relativistic, magnetized, Maxwellian plasma, are presented. Series, asymptotic series, recurrence relations, integral representations, derivatives, generating functions, approximations, differential equations, and connections with standard transcendental functions are discussed, as are the PDF's analytic properties. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
