Associated Legendre functions appear in the angular part of solutions to Laplace’s equation in spherical coordinates.
连带勒让德函数出现在球坐标系下拉普拉斯方程解的角向部分中。
To compute spherical harmonics \(Y_\ell^m(\theta,\phi)\), we often express them using associated Legendre functions \(P_\ell^m(\cos\theta)\) and a complex exponential in \(\phi\).
为了计算球谐函数 \(Y_\ell^m(\theta,\phi)\),我们常把它们表示为连带勒让德函数 \(P_\ell^m(\cos\theta)\) 与关于 \(\phi\) 的复指数项的乘积。
