Find the solutions of the following differential equations in terms of Bessel functions by using equations (16.1) and (16.2).
Show the spherical Bessel functions satisfy the differential equation .
The equation for the associated Legendre functions (and for Legendre functions when m=0) usually arises in the form (see, for example, Chapter 13, Section 7) 1/sinθ d/dθ (sinθ dy/dθ)+[l (l+1)-m2/sin2θ] y=0.
Make the change of variable x=cosθ, and obtain (10.1):
(1-x2) y"-2xy'+[l (l+1) -m2/1-x2] y=0
To show that .
