    Over the preceding two months, the subscript parameters of the Ferrers and Legendre functions, 𝖯 n , 𝖰 n , P n , Q n , 𝑸 n and the Laguerre polynomial, L n , were incorrectly displayed as superscripts. Reported by Roy Hughes on 2022-05-23

  • Equations (14.5.3), (14.5.4)

    The constraints in (14.5.3), (14.5.4) on ν + μ have been corrected to exclude all negative integers since the Ferrers function of the second kind is not defined for these values.

  • Equation (14.6.6)
    14.6.6 𝖯 ν m ( x ) = ( 1 x 2 ) m / 2 x 1 x 1 𝖯 ν ( x ) ( d x ) m

    The right-hand side has been corrected by replacing the Legendre function P ν ( x ) with the Ferrers function 𝖯 ν ( x ) .

  • Equation (14.2.7)

    The Wronskian was generalized to include both associated Legendre and Ferrers functions.

  • Subsection 14.5(vi)

    A new Subsection Addendum to §14.5(ii) μ = 0 , ν = 2 , containing the values of Legendre and Ferrers functions for degree ν = 2 has been added.
