Abstract

The analysis of electromagnetic wave propagation in cylindrical waveguides with step discontinuities leads naturally to sets of unusual identities for various special functions. Emphasis is placed on those expressions associated with classical rectangular and circular cross-sectional geometry. From a mathematical point of view it turns out, as expected, that the identities are related to bilinear expansions for Green´s functions affiliated with Sturm-Liouville boundary-value problems
