  • Chapters 10 Bessel Functions, 18 Orthogonal Polynomials, 34 3j, 6j, 9j Symbols

    The Legendre polynomial P n was mistakenly identified as the associated Legendre function P n in §§10.54, 10.59, 10.60, 18.18, 18.41, 34.3 (and was thus also affected by the bug reported below). These symbols now link correctly to their definitions. Reported by Roy Hughes on 2022-05-23

  • Subsection 5.2(iii)

    Three new identities for Pochhammer’s symbol (5.2.6)–(5.2.8) have been added at the end of this subsection.

    Suggested by Tom Koornwinder.

  • Section 34.1

    The relation between Clebsch-Gordan and 3 j symbols was clarified, and the sign of m 3 was changed for readability. The reference Condon and Shortley (1935) for the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients was replaced by Edmonds (1974) and Rotenberg et al. (1959) and the references for 3 j , 6 j , 9 j symbols were made more precise in §34.1.

  • Section 34.1

    The reference for Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, Condon and Shortley (1935), was replaced by Edmonds (1974) and Rotenberg et al. (1959). The references for 3 j , 6 j , 9 j symbols were made more precise.

  • Equation (34.7.4)
    34.7.4 ( j 13 j 23 j 33 m 13 m 23 m 33 ) { j 11 j 12 j 13 j 21 j 22 j 23 j 31 j 32 j 33 } = m r 1 , m r 2 , r = 1 , 2 , 3 ( j 11 j 12 j 13 m 11 m 12 m 13 ) ( j 21 j 22 j 23 m 21 m 22 m 23 ) ( j 31 j 32 j 33 m 31 m 32 m 33 ) ( j 11 j 21 j 31 m 11 m 21 m 31 ) ( j 12 j 22 j 32 m 12 m 22 m 32 )

    Originally the third 3 j symbol in the summation was written incorrectly as ( j 31 j 32 j 33 m 13 m 23 m 33 ) .

    Here are three examples of solutions for (18.39.8) for explicit choices of V ( x ) and with the ψ n ( x ) corresponding to the discrete spectrum. All are written in the same form as the product of three factors: the square root of a weight function w ( x ) , the corresponding OP or EOP, and constant factors ensuring unit normalization. …
