Expand the following functions in Legendre series.
To show .
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
Expand the following functions in Legendre series.
f(x) = P'n (x).
Hint: For I≥ n, ∫-11 P'n(x)Pl(x) dx=0 (Why?); for l<n, integrate by parts.
