Ferrers function

In mathematics, Ferrers functions are certain special functions defined in terms of hypergeometric functions.[1] They are named after Norman Macleod Ferrers.

Definitions

Ferrers function of the first kind

P_{v}^{\mu }(x)=\left({\frac {1+x}{1-x}}\right)^{\mu /2}\cdot {\frac {F(v+1,-v;1-\mu ;1/2-x/2)}{\Gamma (1-\mu )}}

Ferrers function of the second kind

Q_{v}^{\mu }(x)=\cos(\mu \pi )\left({\frac {1+x}{1-x}}\right)^{\mu /2}{\frac {F(v+1,-v;1-\mu ;1/2-2/x)}{\Gamma (1-\mu )}}

gollark: > Well yes, but you can do it without a computer, which could be valuable.Somewhat valuable. But I'm also likely to have a phone around nowadays.

gollark: See, personally, I don't see much value in being able to do base conversions really fast mentally when I can offload that work to a computer of some kind.

gollark: I mean, it was just in an animon (that's the singular).

gollark: Did you really *witness* it, though?

gollark: /= != <>
