Associated Legendre functions
The associated Legendre functions Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle P_{n}^{m}(x)} are polynomials which are most conveniently defined in terms of derivatives of the Legendre polynomials:
Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle P_{n}^{m}(x)=(1-x^{2})^{m/2}{\frac {d^{m}}{dx^{m}}}P_{n}(x)}
