AbstractDifferentiation of the well-known addition theorem for Legendre polynomials produces results for sums over order m of products of various derivatives of associated Legendre functions. The same method is applied to the corresponding addition theorems for vector and tensor spherical harmonics. Results are also given for Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, corresponding to ‘spin-weighted’ associated Legendre functions, as used in studies of distributions of rotations.

Spatially Restricted Integrals in Gradiometric Boundary Value ProblemsThe spherical Slepian functions can be used to localize the solutions of the gradiometric boundary value problems on a sphere. These functions involve spatially restricted integral products of scalar, vector and tensor spherical harmonics. This paper formulates these integrals in terms of combinations of the Gaunt coefficients and integrals of associated Legendre functions. The presented formulas for these integrals are useful in recovering the Earth's gravity field locally from the satellite gravity gradiometry data.

Associated Legendre Functions as Integrals involving Bessel Functions. Let,where C denotes a contour which begins at −∞ on the real axis, passes positively round the origin, and returns to −∞, amp λ=−π initially, and R(z)>0, z being finite and ≠1. [If R(z)>0 and z is finite, then R(z±)>0.] Then if I−m (λ) be expanded in ascending powers of λ, and if the resulting expression be integrated term by term, it is found that

In his treatise, Heine ( Heine 1881 In Theorie und Anwendungen ) gave an identity for the Fourier series of the function , with , and z >1, in terms of associated Legendre functions of the second kind . In this paper, we generalize Heine’s identity for the function , with , and , in terms of . We also compute closed-form expressions for some  .
