# h1vp

scipy.special.h1vp(v, z, n=1)

  Compute derivatives of Hankel function H1v(z) with respect to z.

  Parameters:
    v array_like

      Order of Hankel function

    z array_like

      Argument at which to evaluate the derivative. Can be real or complex.

    n int, default 1

      Order of derivative. For 0 returns the Hankel function h1v itself.

  Returns:
    scalar or ndarray

      Values of the derivative of the Hankel function.

  Notes

  The derivative is computed using the relation DLFM 10.6.7 [2].
