where and are real numbers. The function was defined by H. Bateman [1]. The Bateman function may be expressed in the form of a confluent hypergeometric function of the second kind :

The relation (2) is conveniently taken as the definition of the Bateman function in the complex plane with the cut . The following relations are valid: for case (1)
for case (2)
where , and is a confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind.
