    §31.17(i) Addition of Three Quantum Spins
    The problem of adding three quantum spins 𝐬 , 𝐭 , and 𝐮 can be solved by the method of separation of variables, and the solution is given in terms of a product of two Heun functions. … Consider the following spectral problem on the sphere S 2 : 𝐱 2 = x s 2 + x t 2 + x u 2 = R 2 . … For more details about the method of separation of variables and relation to special functions see Olevskiĭ (1950), Kalnins et al.

    10: Errata
    It was decided that much more information should be given in the section on general OP’s, and as a consequence Chapter 1 (Algebraic and Analytic Methods), also required a significant expansion. This especially included updated information on matrix analysis, measure theory, spectral analysis, and a new section on linear second order differential operators and eigenfunction expansions. … We have also completely expanded our discussion on applications of orthogonal polynomials in the physical sciences, and also methods of computation for orthogonal polynomials. … The specific updates to Chapter 1 include the addition of an entirely new subsection §1.18 entitled “Linear Second Order Differential Operators and Eigenfunction Expansions” which is a survey of the formal spectral analysis of second order differential operators. The spectral theory of these operators, based on Sturm-Liouville and Liouville normal forms, distribution theory, is now discussed more completely, including linear algebra, matrices, matrices as linear operators, orthonormal expansions, Stieltjes integrals/measures, generating functions. …
