Solve the differential equations in Problems 5 to 10 by the Frobenius method; observe that you get only one solution. (Note, also, that the two values of are equal or differ by an integer, and in the latter case the larger gives the one solution.) Show that the conditions of Fuchs's theorem are satisfied. Knowing that the second solution is X times the solution you have, plus another Frobenius series, find the second solution.
The solution of problem as spherical Bessel function using definition of and in terms of and . Also obtain solutions in terms of and . Compare the answers.
The equation for the associated Legendre functions (and for Legendre functions when m=0) usually arises in the form (see, for example, Chapter 13, Section 7) 1/sinθ d/dθ (sinθ dy/dθ)+[l (l+1)-m2/sin2θ] y=0.
Make the change of variable x=cosθ, and obtain (10.1):
(1-x2) y"-2xy'+[l (l+1) -m2/1-x2] y=0
From equation (15.4) show that and
. Then, by Problem 7, show that
for all integral. .
