Abstract

Identities between Whittaker and modified Bessel functions are derived for particular complex orders. Certain polynomials appear in such identities, which satisfy a fourth order differential equation (not of hypergeometric type), and they themselves can be expressed as particular linear combinations of products of modified Bessel and confluent hypergeometric functions.
