Substitute the P1(x)you found in Problems 4.3 or 5.3 into equation (10.6)to find, Plm(x); then let x=cos θto evaluate:
P32(³¦´Ç²õθ)
Show that the functions Plm(x)for each mare a set of orthogonal functions on (-1,1), that is, show that ∫-11Plm(x)Pnm(x)dx=0, l≠n
Hint: Use the differential equations (10.1):
(1-x2) y"-2xy'+[l (l+1) -m2/1-x2] y=0 and follow the method of Section 7.
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)].
