    • Section 18.35

      This section on Pollaczek polynomials has been significantly updated with much more explanations and as well to include the Pollaczek polynomials of type 3 which are the most general with three free parameters. The Pollaczek polynomials which were previously treated, namely those of type 1 and type 2 are special cases of the type 3 Pollaczek polynomials. In the first paragraph of this section an extensive description of the relations between the three types of Pollaczek polynomials is given which was lacking previously. Equations (18.35.0_5), (18.35.2_1)–(18.35.2_5), (18.35.4_5), (18.35.6_1)–(18.35.6_6), (18.35.10).

    • Section 18.38

      The paragraphs of Subsection 18.38(i) have been re-ordered and one paragraph was added. The title of Subsection 18.38(ii) was changed from “Classical OP’s: Other Applications” to “Classical OP’s: Mathematical Developments and Applications”. Subsection 18.38(iii) has been expanded with seven new paragraphs, and Equations (18.38.4)–(18.38.11).

    • Section 18.39

      This section was completely rewritten. The previous 18.39(i) Quantum Mechanics has been replaced by Subsections 18.39(i) Quantum Mechanics and 18.39(ii) A 3D Separable Quantum System, the Hydrogen Atom, containing the same essential information; the original content of the subsection is reproduced below for reference. Subsection 18.39(ii) was moved to 18.39(v) Other Applications. New subsections, 18.39(iii) Non Classical Weight Functions of Utility in DVR Method in the Physical Sciences, 18.39(iv) Coulomb–Pollaczek Polynomials and J-Matrix Methods; Equations (18.39.7)–(18.39.48); and Figures 18.39.1, 18.39.2.

      The original text of 18.39(i) Quantum Mechanics was:

      “Classical OP’s appear when the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved by separation of variables. Consider, for example, the one-dimensional form of this equation for a particle of mass m with potential energy V ( x ) :

      errata.1 ( 2 2 m 2 x 2 + V ( x ) ) ψ ( x , t ) = i t ψ ( x , t ) ,

      where is the reduced Planck’s constant. On substituting ψ ( x , t ) = η ( x ) ζ ( t ) , we obtain two ordinary differential equations, each of which involve the same constant E . The equation for η ( x ) is

      errata.2 d 2 η d x 2 + 2 m 2 ( E V ( x ) ) η = 0 .

      For a harmonic oscillator, the potential energy is given by

      errata.3 V ( x ) = 1 2 m ω 2 x 2 ,

      where ω is the angular frequency. For (18.39.2) to have a nontrivial bounded solution in the interval < x < , the constant E (the total energy of the particle) must satisfy

      errata.4 E = E n = ( n + 1 2 ) ω , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , .

      The corresponding eigenfunctions are

      errata.5 η n ( x ) = π 1 4 2 1 2 n ( n ! b ) 1 2 H n ( x / b ) e x 2 / 2 b 2 ,

      where b = ( / m ω ) 1 / 2 , and H n is the Hermite polynomial. For further details, see Seaborn (1991, p. 224) or Nikiforov and Uvarov (1988, pp. 71-72).

      A second example is provided by the three-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation

      errata.6 2 ψ + 2 m 2 ( E V ( 𝐱 ) ) ψ = 0 ,

      when this is solved by separation of variables in spherical coordinates (§1.5(ii)). The eigenfunctions of one of the separated ordinary differential equations are Legendre polynomials. See Seaborn (1991, pp. 69-75).

      For a third example, one in which the eigenfunctions are Laguerre polynomials, see Seaborn (1991, pp. 87-93) and Nikiforov and Uvarov (1988, pp. 76-80 and 320-323).”

    • Section 18.40

      The old section is now Subsection 18.40(i) and a large new subsection, 18.40(ii), on the classical moment problem has been added, with formulae (18.40.1)–(18.40.10) and Figures 18.40.1, 18.40.2.

  • Equations (22.9.8), (22.9.9) and (22.9.10)
    22.9.8 s 1 , 3 ( 4 ) s 2 , 3 ( 4 ) + s 2 , 3 ( 4 ) s 3 , 3 ( 4 ) + s 3 , 3 ( 4 ) s 1 , 3 ( 4 ) = κ 2 1 k 2
    22.9.9 c 1 , 3 ( 4 ) c 2 , 3 ( 4 ) + c 2 , 3 ( 4 ) c 3 , 3 ( 4 ) + c 3 , 3 ( 4 ) c 1 , 3 ( 4 ) = κ ( κ + 2 ) ( 1 + κ ) 2
    22.9.10 d 1 , 3 ( 2 ) d 2 , 3 ( 2 ) + d 2 , 3 ( 2 ) d 3 , 3 ( 2 ) + d 3 , 3 ( 2 ) d 1 , 3 ( 2 ) = d 1 , 3 ( 4 ) d 2 , 3 ( 4 ) + d 2 , 3 ( 4 ) d 3 , 3 ( 4 ) + d 3 , 3 ( 4 ) d 1 , 3 ( 4 ) = κ ( κ + 2 )

    Originally all the functions s m , p ( 4 ) , c m , p ( 4 ) , d m , p ( 2 ) and d m , p ( 4 ) in Equations (22.9.8), (22.9.9) and (22.9.10) were written incorrectly with p = 2 . These functions have been corrected so that they are written with p = 3 . In the sentence just below (22.9.10), the expression s m , 2 ( 4 ) s n , 2 ( 4 ) has been corrected to read s m , p ( 4 ) s n , p ( 4 ) .

  • Equation (28.8.5)
    28.8.5 V m ( ξ ) 1 2 4 h ( D m + 2 ( ξ ) m ( m 1 ) D m 2 ( ξ ) ) + 1 2 10 h 2 ( D m + 6 ( ξ ) + ( m 2 25 m 36 ) D m + 2 ( ξ ) m ( m 1 ) ( m 2 + 27 m 10 ) D m 2 ( ξ ) 6 ! ( m 6 ) D m 6 ( ξ ) ) +

    Originally the in front of the 6 ! was given incorrectly as + .

  • Subsection 1.16(vii)

    Several changes have been made to

    1. (i)

      make consistent use of the Fourier transform notations ( f ) , ( ϕ ) and ( u ) where f is a function of one real variable, ϕ is a test function of n variables associated with tempered distributions, and u is a tempered distribution (see (1.14.1), (1.16.29) and (1.16.35));

    2. (ii)

      introduce the partial differential operator 𝐃 in (1.16.30);

    3. (iii)

      clarify the definition (1.16.32) of the partial differential operator P ( 𝐃 ) ; and

    4. (iv)

      clarify the use of P ( 𝐃 ) and P ( 𝐱 ) in (1.16.33), (1.16.34), (1.16.36) and (1.16.37).

  • Subsections 8.18(ii)8.11(v)

    A sentence was added in §8.18(ii) to refer to Nemes and Olde Daalhuis (2016). Originally §8.11(iii) was applicable for real variables a and x = λ a . It has been extended to allow for complex variables a and z = λ a (and we have replaced x with z in the subsection heading and in Equations (8.11.6) and (8.11.7)). Also, we have added two paragraphs after (8.11.9) to replace the original paragraph that appeared there. Furthermore, the interval of validity of (8.11.6) was increased from 0 < λ < 1 to the sector 0 < λ < 1 , | ph a | π 2 δ , and the interval of validity of (8.11.7) was increased from λ > 1 to the sector λ > 1 , | ph a | 3 π 2 δ . A paragraph with reference to Nemes (2016) has been added in §8.11(v), and the sector of validity for (8.11.12) was increased from | ph z | π δ to | ph z | 2 π δ . Two new Subsections 13.6(vii), 13.18(vi), both entitled Coulomb Functions, were added to note the relationship of the Kummer and Whittaker functions to various forms of the Coulomb functions. A sentence was added in both §13.10(vi) and §13.23(v) noting that certain generalized orthogonality can be expressed in terms of Kummer functions.
