Abstract
The numerical evaluation of the parabolic cylinder functions D p(z ) in two cases is described. Case I is for the argument z =xe -iπ/4, with x real, and the order p =-1/2+iy , with y real. Case II is for z arbitrary, but p an integer. These cases are of special importance in the analysis of wave scattering from a parabolic cylinder. Expressions for D p(z ) are presented which are numerically accurate and efficient
