Definition
A modified Bessel function of the second kind of order $n$ is a modified Bessel function which is singular at the origin.
It is usually denoted $\map {K_n} x$, where $x$ is the dependent variable of the instance of Bessel's modified equation to which $\map {K_n} x$ forms a solution.
Also known as
Some sources use $p$ to denote the order of the modified Bessel function.
