A solution of a linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients.

The engineering terminology for one use of Fourier transforms. By breaking up a wave pulse into its frequency spectrum f_nu=F(nu)e^(2piinut), (1) the entire signal can be ...

The second solution Q_l(x) to the Legendre differential equation. The Legendre functions of the second kind satisfy the same recurrence relation as the Legendre polynomials. ...

Functions which can be expressed in terms of Legendre functions of the first and second kinds. See Abramowitz and Stegun (1972, p. 337). P_(-1/2+ip)(costheta) = (1) = ...

R_m(x,y) = (J_m^'(x)Y_m^'(y)-J_m^'(y)Y_m^'(x))/(J_m(x)Y_m^'(y)-J_m^'(y)Y_m(x)) (1) S_m(x,y) = (J_m^'(x)Y_m(y)-J_m(y)Y_m^'(x))/(J_m(x)Y_m(y)-J_m(y)Y_m(x)). (2)

If lim_(z->z_0)(f(z)-f(z_0))/(z-z_0) is the same for all paths in the complex plane, then f(z) is said to be monogenic at z_0. Monogenic therefore essentially means having a ...

F(x) = -Li_2(-x) (1) = int_0^x(ln(1+t))/tdt, (2) where Li_2(x) is the dilogarithm.

The lemniscate functions arise in rectifying the arc length of the lemniscate. The lemniscate functions were first studied by Jakob Bernoulli and Giulio Fagnano. A historical ...

The number of representations of n by k squares, allowing zeros and distinguishing signs and order, is denoted r_k(n). The special case k=2 corresponding to two squares is ...

An alternative name for an associated Legendre polynomial.
