5: 14.31 Other Applications
The conical functions 𝖯 1 2 + i τ m ( x ) appear in boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation in toroidal coordinates (§14.19(i)) for regions bounded by cones, by two intersecting spheres, or by one or two confocal hyperboloids of revolution (Kölbig (1981)). …
§14.31(iii) Miscellaneous
Many additional physical applications of Legendre polynomials and associated Legendre functions include solution of the Helmholtz equation, as well as the Laplace equation, in spherical coordinates (Temme (1996b)), quantum mechanics (Edmonds (1974)), and high-frequency scattering by a sphere (Nussenzveig (1965)). …

Cohl has published papers in orthogonal polynomials and special functions, and is particularly interested in fundamental solutions of linear partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds, associated Legendre functions, generalized and basic hypergeometric functions, eigenfunction expansions of fundamental solutions in separable coordinate systems for linear partial differential equations, orthogonal polynomial generating function and generalized expansions, and q -series. …

Another real-valued solution 𝖰 ^ 1 2 + i τ μ ( x ) of (14.20.1) was introduced in Dunster (1991). … 𝖰 ^ 1 2 + i τ μ ( x ) exists except when μ = 1 2 , 3 2 , and τ = 0 ; compare §14.3(i). …provided that 𝖰 ^ 1 2 + i τ μ ( x ) exists. … Approximations for 𝖯 1 2 + i τ μ ( x ) and 𝖰 ^ 1 2 + i τ μ ( x ) can then be achieved via (14.9.7) and (14.20.3). … For zeros of 𝖯 1 2 + i τ ( x ) see Hobson (1931, §237). …
