    Other examples are: (a) the notation for the Ferrers functions—also known as associated Legendre functions on the cut—for which existing notations can easily be confused with those for other associated Legendre functions14.1); (b) the spherical Bessel functions for which existing notations are unsymmetric and inelegant (§§10.47(i) and 10.47(ii)); and (c) elliptic integrals for which both Legendre’s forms and the more recent symmetric forms are treated fully (Chapter 19). …

    §14.27 Zeros
    P ν μ ( x ± i 0 ) (either side of the cut) has exactly one zero in the interval ( , 1 ) if either of the following sets of conditions holds: …For all other values of the parameters P ν μ ( x ± i 0 ) has no zeros in the interval ( , 1 ) . For complex zeros of P ν μ ( z ) see Hobson (1931, §§233, 234, and 238).
