Integral of Legendre polynomials and Associated Legendre polynomials












0












$begingroup$


I am trying to find the solution to the following integrals. I am quite sure these are well known, but somehow i did not find them already solved online:



1) $int_0^pi P_l(cos{theta}) P_{l'}^{pm 1} (cos{theta}) , dtheta$



2) $int_0^pi P_l(cos{theta}) frac{d}{dtheta} left[P_{l'}^{pm 1} (cos{theta}) right] sin{theta} , dtheta$



and



3) $int_0^pi P_l(cos{theta}) frac{d}{dtheta} left[P_{l'} (cos{theta}) right] sin{theta} , dtheta$



Where $P_l (cos{theta})$ is the Legendre polynomial of degree $l$, $P_{l'}^{pm 1} (cos{theta})$ is the associate Legendre polynomial of degree $l'$ and order $pm 1$. I am only interested to the case of $l$ and $l'$ integers and $l ge 0$ and $l^{'} ge 0$.
