Question:Use the Section 15 recursion relations and (17.4) to obtain the following recursion relations for spherical Bessel functions. We have written them for , but they are valid forand for the
Write (10.7) with m replaced by -m; then use Problem 7 to show that Pl-m(x) = (-1)m (l-m)!/(l+m)! Plm(x).
Comment: This shows that (10.7) is a solution of (10.1) when m is negative.
From equation (15.4) show that and
. Then, by Problem 7, show that
for all integral. .
Find the best (in the least squares sense) second-degree polynomial approximation to each of the given functions over the interval -1<x<1.
x4
Expand the following functions in Legendre series.
Hint: Solve the recursion relation (5.8e)for Pl(x)and show that ∫a1 Pl(x) dx=1/2l+1 [Pl-1 (a)-Pl+1 (a)].
