Confusion Regarding Whipple Formulae
May, 2018 (J.E.Tohline): I am trying to figure out what the correct relationship is between half-integer degree, associated Legendre functions of the first and second kinds. In order to illustrate my current confusion, here I will restrict my presentation to expressions that give <math>~Q^m_{n - 1 / 2}(\cosh\eta)</math> in terms of <math>~P^n_{m - 1 / 2}(\coth\eta)</math>.

From H. S. Cohl, J. E. Tohline, A. R. P. Rau, & H. M. Srivastiva (2000, Astronomische Nachrichten, 321, no. 5, 363 - 372) I find:
|
<math>~Q^m_{n - 1 / 2}(\cosh\eta)</math> |
<math>~=</math> |
<math>~ \frac{(-1)^n \pi}{\Gamma(n - m + \tfrac{1}{2})} \biggl[ \frac{\pi}{2\sinh\eta} \biggr]^{1 / 2} P^n_{m - 1 / 2}(\coth\eta) \, . </math> |
