Oct 18, 2012 at 2:40 comment added Robert Israel For example, series expansion around $0$: for non-integer $\nu$, $$K_\nu(x) = \sum _{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac {{2}^{\nu-2\,k-1}\pi \,{x}^{-\nu+2\,k}} { \left( k-\nu \right) !\,k!\,\sin \left( \pi \,\nu \right) }}-{ \frac {{2}^{-\nu-2\,k-1}\pi \,{x}^{\nu+2\,k}}{ \left( \nu+k \right) !\,k !\,\sin \left( \pi \,\nu \right) }} $$ See also wolframalpha.com/input/?i=BesselK[nu%2Cx]
