PLegendreA

Compute all the unnormalized associated Legendre functions.

Usage

call PLegendreA (p, lmax, z, csphase)

Parameters

p : output, real*8, dimension ((lmax+1)*(lmax+2)/2) : An array of unnormalized associated Legendre functions up to degree lmax. The index corresponds to l*(l+1)/2+m+1, which can be calculated by a call to PlmIndex.

lmax : input, integer : The maximum degree of the associated Legendre functions to be computed.

z : input, real*8 : The argument of the associated Legendre functions.

csphase : input, optional, integer, default = 1 : If 1 (default), the Condon-Shortley phase will be excluded. If -1, the Condon-Shortley phase of (-1)^m will be appended to the associated Legendre functions.

Description

PLegendreA will calculate all of the unnormalized associated Legendre functions up to degree lmax for a given argument. These are calculated using a standard three-term recursion formula and hence will overflow for moderate values of l and m. The index of the array corresponding to a given degree l and angular order m corresponds to l*(l+1)/2+m+1 and can be computed by a call to PlmIndex. The integral of the associated Legendre functions over the interval [-1, 1] is 2*(l+m)!/(l-m)!/(2l+1). The default is to exclude the Condon-Shortley phase, but this can be modified by setting the optional argument csphase to -1.
