Toronto function

In mathematics, the Toronto function T(m,n,r) is a modification of the confluent hypergeometric function defined by (Heatley 1943), Weisstein, as

${\displaystyle T(m,n,r)=r^{2n-m+1}{e}^{-r^2}\frac{\mathrm{\Gamma }(\frac{1}{2}m+\frac{1}{2})}{\mathrm{\Gamma }(n+1)}{}_1{F}_1(\frac{1}{2}m+\frac{1}{2};n+1;r^2).}$

Later, Heatley (1964) recomputed to 12 decimals the table of the M(R)-function, and gave some corrections of the original tables. The table was also extended from x = 4 to x = 16 (Heatley, 1965). An example of the Toronto function has appeared in a study on the theory of turbulence (Heatley, 1965).
