Notes

mathieu_ang_periodic_real calculates an approximation to and/or , or and/or , where and are respectively the even and odd parity real-valued periodic angular Mathieu functions, for an array of values of , and for integer order value , where for even parity, and for odd parity. The function also returns values of for these periodic Mathieu functions, this is known as the characteristic value or eigenvalue.

The solutions are computed by approximating Mathieu functions as Fourier series, where expansion coefficients are obtained by solving the eigenvalue problem generated from the relevant recurrence relation, see Module 28 in NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.
