Associated Legendre Function
- $\map { {P_n}^m} x$
The associated Legendre functions are the real functions defined and denoted as:
- $\map { {P_n}^m} x = \paren {1 - x^2}^{m / 2} \dfrac {\d^m} {\d x^m} \map {P_n} x$
where $\map {P_n} x$ is the Legendre polynomial of order $n$.
The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\map { {P_n}^m} x\) is \map { {P_n}^m} x
.
