this function now links correctly to its definition.
This change affects Gegenbauer functions which appear in

Subsection 33.14(iv)
Just below (33.14.9), the constraint described in the text
“ when ,” was removed.
In Equation (33.14.13), the constraint was added.
In the line immediately below (33.14.13), it was clarified
that is times a polynomial
in , instead of simply a polynomial in .
In Equation (33.14.14), a second equality was added which relates
to Laguerre polynomials.
A sentence was added immediately below (33.14.15) indicating that
the functions , , do not form a complete orthonormal system.
