Modified Struve Function


$\displaystyle {\mathcal L}_\nu(z)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle ({\textstyle{1\over 2}}z)^{\nu+1} \sum_{k=0}^\infty {({\textstyle...
...{2k}\over \Gamma(k+{\textstyle{3\over 2}})\Gamma(k+\nu+{\textstyle{3\over 2}})}$  
  $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle {2({\textstyle{1\over 2}}z)^\nu\over \sqrt{\pi}\,\Gamma(\nu+{\textstyle{1\over 2}})} \int_0^{\pi/2} \sinh(z\cos\theta)\sin^{2\nu}\theta\,d\theta,$  

where $\Gamma(z)$ is the Gamma Function.
