PlON
Compute all the orthonormalized Legendre polynomials.
Usage
p = PlON (lmax, z)
Returns
p: float, dimension (lmax+1)- An array of orthonormalized Legendre polynomials up to degree
lmax. Degreelcorresponds to array indexl.
Parameters
lmax: integer- The maximum degree of the Legendre polynomials to be computed.
z: float- The argument of the Legendre polynomial.
Description
PlON will calculate all of the orthonormalized Legendre polynomials up to degree lmax for a given argument. These are calculated using a standard three-term recursion formula. The integral of the orthonormalized normalized Legendre polynomials over the interval [-1, 1] is 2/(4pi).
