Since it is Using Maple to solve Hermite equation For n=2, The first term is the second kind Hermite function. Under typical boundary conditions in physics, the integral constant _C1 is zero. The second term is basically the Hermite polynomial. (2.5) General solution by Maple (2.6) Legendre equation Legendre's differential equation of degree n (0th order) Two linearly independent solutions to (3.1) is known as the first kind of Legendre polynomials and the second kind of Legendre function. (3.1) First kind Legendre polynomials (3.2) In Maple, Legendre polynomials are predefined as. = 1 = =

7 (4.6) (4.7) Bessel equation Bessel's differential equation (5.1) Two linearly independent solutions are known as Bessel function, and Weber function. Hence, a geneal solution is given by The second solution is also called Neuman function and denoted as. (5.2) General solution by Maple (5.3) Hankel functions independent solutions. are also a pair of linearly In Maple, these functions are predefined as BesselJ(n,), BesselY(n,), BesselH1(n,), and BesselH2 (n,). Since they can be epressed only by infinte series, Maple cannot epress them in closed forms.
