1: 30.1 Special Notation

… ►The main functions treated in this chapter are the eigenvalues ${\lambda }_n^m\left({\gamma }^2\right)$ and the spheroidal wave functions ${\mathrm{𝖯𝗌}}_n^m(x,{\gamma }^2)$, ${\mathrm{𝖰𝗌}}_n^m(x,{\gamma }^2)$, ${\mathrm{𝑃𝑠}}_n^m(z,{\gamma }^2)$, ${\mathrm{𝑄𝑠}}_n^m(z,{\gamma }^2)$, and $S_n^{m(j)}(z,\gamma )$, $j=1,2,3,4$. …Meixner and Schäfke (1954) use $\mathrm{ps}$, $\mathrm{qs}$, $\mathrm{Ps}$, $\mathrm{Qs}$ for $\mathrm{𝖯𝗌}$, $\mathrm{𝖰𝗌}$, $\mathrm{𝑃𝑠}$, $\mathrm{𝑄𝑠}$, respectively. ►

Other Notations

►Flammer (1957) and Abramowitz and Stegun (1964) use ${\lambda }_{mn}(\gamma )$ for ${\lambda }_n^m\left({\gamma }^2\right)+{\gamma }^2$, $R_{mn}^{(j)}(\gamma ,z)$ for $S_n^{m(j)}(z,\gamma )$, and …
