Oh, by the way, Wolfram Mathworld is just completely wrong on this page you referenced. There is a huge difference between the two functions. Also, there is no such thing as an associated Legendre polynomial. There is a Legendre polynomials, but if you take the degrees and orders to be integers f

The Ferrers functions are defined on the real segment (-1,1). The associated Legendre functions are in general defined on the Complex plane except for the ray (-\infty,1]. Typically Ferrers functions are written with argument x=\cos\theta, |x|<1 and associated Legendre functions are written with

Thanks. If that is the case, then presumably this *is* a bug in Sage Math and Func_assoc_legendre_P should distinguish the special cases for n == m when x > 1 or x < 1 when evaluating associated Legendre polynomials. Would you be able to clarify the distinction between Ferrers functions of the

Thanks. I am waiting for an account on Sage trac, then I will submit a bug report. On Thursday, 22 March 2018 10:25:06 UTC, Samuel Lelievre wrote: > > Ralf wrote: > > Thanks, > > P.S. Still someone should contact DLMF with the right arguments. > > I just emailed them with cc to sage-devel. > --

arb agrees here: sage: CBF(1/2).legendre_P(1,1) [-0.8660254037844386 +/- 5.90e-17] So I'd suggest using complex balls for your numerics until the bug is fixed. Thanks, P.S. Still someone should contact DLMF with the right arguments. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th
