In mathematics, the '''Bateman function''' (or ''k''-function) ''k''_''n'' is a special case of the [[confluent hypergeometric function]] studied by {{harvtxt|Bateman|1931}}. Bateman defined it by

:<math>\displaystyle k_n(x) = \frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^{\pi/2}\cos(x\tan\theta-n\theta) \, d\theta</math>

This is not to be confused with another function of the same name which is used in Pharmacokinetics.
