1 MATHEMATICS OF COMPUTATION, VOLUME 28, NUMBER 125, JANUARY, 1974 Some Integrals Involving Associated Legendre Functions By S. N. Samaddar Abstract. Calculations of some uncommon integrals involving Legendre functions and their derivatives, which may not be readily evaluated using known results, are presented. Some results show a special type of orthogonality relation in a certain sense. A few of these integrals find their applications in diffraction or scattering problems. 1. Introduction. In the analysis [1] of the scattering of a cylindrical electromagnetic wave by a spherical object, one encounters some special type of integrals involving associated Legendre functions. In the process of computing these integrals, one finds a number of related integrals as by-products, which may not be readily evaluated using the known results. Once a few of these integrals are calculated, the rest may be found by using the recurrence relations or other known results. For the sake of briefness, the proofs of only the primary results will be sketched and the rest will simply be presented. 2. Some Preliminary Results. Let us consider the following recurrence relations [2]: (1) (1 - x2)u2-pt\x) = [p:+ax) - K-Ax)]/{2n + 1) = [xp:ix) - P:-,ix)]/{n - m + 1), m, n = 0, 1, 2,. Then the following relation can easily be established: f1 xp:jx)p:+21+ax) _ r1 p:jx)p:+2ax) J-i 1 x./_, 1 x2 i i -ii. i ->\ / "» (x)pn+2i+ax) = in + 21 m + 2) I / = 0, 1, 2,. J-i (1 x ) None of the integrals appearing in (2) can be calculated easily using the tables of integrals. Therefore, we shall seek to replace the associated Legendre function Pnm{x) by its equivalent Rodrigues' formula defined by (3) PTix) = ZX - mtkix2 - if, ft = 0,1,2,, 2 -ft! and then perform repeated integration by parts. For this purpose, let us first consider the integral on the right-hand side of Eq. (2). This can be expressed in the following manner: Received October 16, AMS (MOS) subject classifications (1970).

By employing the Leibnitz theorem for derivatives of products, it can be shown that A i = 0, for all / = 0, 1, 2,. Thus it is proved that f pz{x)p:+-2\,a (6) L, (i - *y#^=0, /= 0,1,2, Then, from (2) and (6), we have the following result: (7i) /,= /,, / = 0, 1,2,,,_....

In view of the following recurrence relation (10) (1 - x2)1/2-pt\x) = (ft + m)pt_,ix) - (ft - m)xpïix), and the equality (7i), we have (Hi) /, = /, = h/2m, m r 0,

(13i) and Now employing the relations (1 - x2)1/2-pv\x) = (ft + m + DxPTix) - (ft - m + l)pf+ax), (13ii) (1 - x2)1/2-pr\x) = [Pï+Ax) - xptix)]/ik + m), one can easily obtain the following results: in + m - 2Q f_1 f1 KQc)PÏ,\-i(x) rfx U4i; («- m - 2/) y' "/l " in - m - 20 J-, (1 - *2)1/2 and (14ii) J, - Jt = in + m )7,, in - m - l)/2 ^ / ^ 0.

We now prove that, for integer values of n, m and s, =/;,- -2 p:íx)p:íx) X (171) Win + m)!/[m(it - m)!])5.,b+2(+1, if s > n, (17ii) = \((n + m l)\/[m(n - m l)]])&.,n-n-u if 5 < n, I = 0, 1, 2,, and m ^ 0, the Kronecker delta function 5U has its usual meaning. Let us consider that m and n {>m) are fixed and s is a variable index. If s = n ± 21, then the integrand becomes an odd function of x and consequently the integral
4 260 S. N. SAMADDAR vanishes. However, the integral does not vanish for s = n ± (2/ + 1). This establishes the validity of the introduction of the Kronecker delta function in (17i) and (17ii). In order to compute the integral for various s, let us first take s = n + 1 (i.e., / = 0) and replace the associated Legendre functions by the Rodrigues' formula (3). Then we have Fn+, = f xp:íx)p:+,íx)/h - x2) - ^ L** 2n+1-n\in + l)\ (loi) /.l,n+m+l An+m,\m-l U_. 2 iv+1 " / 2, \n j D, n-tm+1 {X 1) -, n+m {X ~ I). Writing x{x2 - l)m_1 = {l/2m)(d{x2 - parts once, we have, from (18i), ( D" (18ii) Fn+, = ,,, ~.-[äl 2 m-n\ in + l)\ + 2a, (18iii) äi = f ix2 - l)m-^ n + m + 2 and, n + m + 2 v _»n + m+l l)m/), m ^ 0, and then integrating by»n +m+l d, 2.,n+i «(18iv) d2 = / ix2 l)m- "n+m+, ix2 - l)n+1- "+m+i ix2 l)n. For the integral ê integrating by parts {n + m)-times starting with the integration of the factor d"+m(x2 l)n/n+m and then using in the resulting expression the Leibnitz theorem for derivatives of products, we have fïi j\ in + m ;')! (18v).1 t jn + m-i \ f jn + m + 2+j ^ /_, d«x2 - xair^{x - x)l\íz^^x - 1)n7- A little effort will show that all the terms of the above series in (18v) vanish except for j = n m. Thus the contribution for j = n m can be shown to be (19) Si = (-Dm-22n+2-n! (m + 1)! in + m)\/in - m)\. For the integral in (18iv), we apply again repeated integrations by parts (n + m + l)-times starting with the integration of the factor dn+m+\x2 - l)n+1/n+m+1. This procedure shows that ä2 = 0. If now the Rodrigues' formula (3) is used in (18iv) to replace the derivatives of ix2 1)"+ ' and (x2 1)" by appropriate Legendre functions, then vanishing of ä2 can be shown to be equivalent to the following relation: <ok f p:+ax)pt\x), n, (20) / -2,1/2 = 0 = â2. It turns out that the result in (20) is a special case of the relation (15). In view of (19) and (20), we have from (18i) and (18ii) the following result:

Furthermore, F, = /, for s > n. When these relations are combined with the result in (9), we have (22) F. = I, = ID = F +i = (ti + m)\/min - m)\, s > n, which is the result desired in the first part [Eq. (17i)] of the theorem. The second half [Eq. (17ii)] of the theorem can be proved in a similar manner or it can be derived from (17i) by a judicious change of various indices. Thus one finds (ti + m - 2/ - 1)! (23) F. = J, =.-777, s < i(tI 771 2/ 1)! Similarly, in view of the relations (7i), (8i), (16), (17i) and (17ii), one may also write f P:ix)P:jx) / ( )!

(25) / -j = - 5*.m, 77l(71 77l)! / = 0, 1, 2, which is true as it stands. However, Jones [4] in his book presents it in the following manner f1 p:jx)p:jx)..?jx) jn + 77i)! (2o) I - 2 = -, \~. o,,n, L, 1 - x2 771(t 77l)! which is not correct in view of the results given here in (24i) and (24ii). Another integral which was also used in [1] appears in Hobson's book [3] incorrectly as an exercise. This is! f.i xp"ix)ptix). This is not a difficult integral to evaluate. Using the last two expressions in Eq. (1) to replace xpz"{x) and the well-known ([2], [3]) result it can easily be shown that Í i»i xp:ix)pt{x) ) = r-xt-!" + mvs\ 5'.«> 2ti + 1 (ti 77l)!
