Input Form





LegendreQ[\[Nu], z] == ((1/2) (Log[1 + z] - Log[1 - z]) - PolyGamma[\[Nu] + 1]) Sum[((Pochhammer[-\[Nu], k] Pochhammer[\[Nu] + 1, k])/k!^2) ((1 - z)/2)^k, {k, 0, Infinity}] + Sum[((Pochhammer[-\[Nu], k] Pochhammer[\[Nu] + 1, k] PolyGamma[k + 1])/ k!^2) ((1 - z)/2)^k, {k, 0, Infinity}] /; Abs[(1 - z)/2] < 1 && !Element[\[Nu], Integers]
