"Gordon function" is another name for the confluent hypergeometric function of the second kind, defined by
![G(a|c|z)=e^(ipia)(Gamma(c))/(Gamma(a)){(Gamma(1-c))/(Gamma(1-a))[e^(-pic)+(sin[pi(a-c)])/(sin(pia))]×_1F_1(a;c;z)-2(Gamma(c-1))/(Gamma(c-a))z^(1-c)_1F_1(a-c+1;2-c;z)},](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/GordonFunction/NumberedEquation1.svg) |
where 
is the gamma function and 
is the confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind.
