The Pollaczek polynomials which were previously treated, namely those of type 1 and type 2 are special cases of the type 3 Pollaczek polynomials.

Subsection 18.38(iii) has been expanded with seven new paragraphs, and Equations (18.38.4)–(18.38.11).

    • Section 18.39

      This section was completely rewritten. The previous 18.39(i) Quantum Mechanics has been replaced by Subsections 18.39(i) Quantum Mechanics and 18.39(ii) A 3D Separable Quantum System, the Hydrogen Atom, containing the same essential information; the original content of the subsection is reproduced below for reference. Subsection 18.39(ii) was moved to 18.39(v) Other Applications. New subsections, 18.39(iii) Non Classical Weight Functions of Utility in DVR Method in the Physical Sciences, 18.39(iv) Coulomb–Pollaczek Polynomials and J-Matrix Methods; Equations (18.39.7)–(18.39.48); and Figures 18.39.1, 18.39.2.

      The original text of 18.39(i) Quantum Mechanics was:

      “Classical OP’s appear when the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved by separation of variables. Consider, for example, the one-dimensional form of this equation for a particle of mass m with potential energy V ( x ) :

      errata.1 ( 2 2 m 2 x 2 + V ( x ) ) ψ ( x , t ) = i t ψ ( x , t ) ,

      where is the reduced Planck’s constant. On substituting ψ ( x , t ) = η ( x ) ζ ( t ) , we obtain two ordinary differential equations, each of which involve the same constant E . The equation for η ( x ) is

      errata.2 d 2 η d x 2 + 2 m 2 ( E V ( x ) ) η = 0 .

      For a harmonic oscillator, the potential energy is given by

      errata.3 V ( x ) = 1 2 m ω 2 x 2 ,

      where ω is the angular frequency. For (18.39.2) to have a nontrivial bounded solution in the interval < x < , the constant E (the total energy of the particle) must satisfy

      errata.4 E = E n = ( n + 1 2 ) ω , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , .

      The corresponding eigenfunctions are

      errata.5 η n ( x ) = π 1 4 2 1 2 n ( n ! b ) 1 2 H n ( x / b ) e x 2 / 2 b 2 ,

      where b = ( / m ω ) 1 / 2 , and H n is the Hermite polynomial. For further details, see Seaborn (1991, p. 224) or Nikiforov and Uvarov (1988, pp. 71-72).

      A second example is provided by the three-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation

      errata.6 2 ψ + 2 m 2 ( E V ( 𝐱 ) ) ψ = 0 ,

      when this is solved by separation of variables in spherical coordinates (§1.5(ii)). The eigenfunctions of one of the separated ordinary differential equations are Legendre polynomials. See Seaborn (1991, pp. 69-75).

      For a third example, one in which the eigenfunctions are Laguerre polynomials, see Seaborn (1991, pp. 87-93) and Nikiforov and Uvarov (1988, pp. 76-80 and 320-323).”

    • Section 18.40

      The old section is now Subsection 18.40(i) and a large new subsection, 18.40(ii), on the classical moment problem has been added, with formulae (18.40.1)–(18.40.10) and Figures 18.40.1, 18.40.2.

  • Chapters 1 Algebraic and Analytic Methods, 10 Bessel Functions, 14 Legendre and Related Functions, 18 Orthogonal Polynomials, 29 Lamé Functions

    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

  • Chapters 14 Legendre and Related Functions, 15 Hypergeometric Function

    The Gegenbauer function C α ( λ ) ( z ) , was labeled inadvertently as the ultraspherical (Gegenbauer) polynomial C n ( λ ) ( z ) . In order to resolve this inconsistency, this function now links correctly to its definition. This change affects Gegenbauer functions which appear in §§14.3(iv), 15.9(iii).
