# scipy.special.kve

`scipy.special.``kve`(v, z) = <ufunc 'kve'>

  Exponentially scaled modified Bessel function of the second kind.

  Returns the exponentially scaled, modified Bessel function of the second kind (sometimes called the third kind) for real order v at complex z:

      kve(v, z) = kv(v, z) * exp(z)

  Parameters: | v : array_like of float Order of Bessel functions z : array_like of complex Argument at which to evaluate the Bessel functions
  Returns: | out : ndarray The exponentially scaled modified Bessel function of the second kind.

  Notes

  Wrapper for AMOS [R476] routine zbesk. For a discussion of the algorithm used, see [R477] and the references therein.
