3 Legendre s Equation Recall We are trying to find solutions to the equation (1 x 2 )P 2xP + l(l + 1)P = 0. We have taken P(x) = k=0 a kx k and derived a recursion relation on the coefficients: (k + 1)(k + 2)a k+2 = [(k + 1)k l(l + 1)]a k.

4 Legendre s Equation Recall We are trying to find solutions to the equation (1 x 2 )P 2xP + l(l + 1)P = 0. We have taken P(x) = k=0 a kx k and derived a recursion relation on the coefficients: (k + 1)(k + 2)a k+2 = [(k + 1)k l(l + 1)]a k. This leads to two classes of bounded solutions.

PHYS Southern Illinois University Legendre s Equation October 18, / 11
10 Legendre s Equation Therefore, we just focus on k < n. Let k = n 2j. Then (n 2j + 1)(n 2j + 2) a n 2j = (n 2j + 1)(n 2j) n(n + 1) a n 2j+2, = (n 2j + 1)(n 2j + 2) a n 2j+2, j = 1, 2,, n (2j)(2n 2j + 1) 2. PHYS Southern Illinois University Legendre s Equation October 18, / 11

16 Rodrigues Formula Theorem. The Legendre Polynomials are equivalently given by the formula d n P n (x) = 1 2 n n! dx n (x 2 1) n. Proof Idea: Let y = (x 2 1) n. Show that y (n) satisfies Legendre s Equation (1 x 2 )P 2xP + n(n + 1)P = 0. We will also need to use the following Lemma, which is a higher-order form of the product rule.

19 Rodrigues Formula Proof of Lemma Prove by induction and use the relations ( ( k l 1) + k ) ( l = k+1 ) l, ( k ( k) = ( k+1), and k ) ( 0 = k+1 ) 0. Proof of Rodrigues Formula First note the equality (x 2 1)y = 2nxy. Then differentiate both sides n + 1 times. This gives us (1 x 2 )[y (n) ] 2x[y (n) ] + n(n + 1)y (n) = 0.

20 Rodrigues Formula Proof of Lemma Prove by induction and use the relations ( ( k l 1) + k ) ( l = k+1 ) l, ( k ( k) = ( k+1), and k ) ( 0 = k+1 ) 0. Proof of Rodrigues Formula First note the equality (x 2 1)y = 2nxy. Then differentiate both sides n + 1 times. This gives us (1 x 2 )[y (n) ] 2x[y (n) ] + n(n + 1)y (n) = 0. 1 The last step is to verify that 2 n n! y (n) (1) = 1. Since P n (x) is the only bounded polynomial solution to Legendre s equation with P n (1) = 1, we have that P n (x) = 1 2 n n! y (n) (x) = 1 d n 2 n n! dx (x 2 1) n. n PHYS Southern Illinois University Legendre s Equation October 18, / 11

Chapter 5.2: Series solution near an ordinary point We now look at ODE s with polynomial coefficients of the form: P (x)y + Q(x)y + R(x)y = 0. Thus, we assume P (x), Q(x), R(x) are polynomials in x. Why?
