Input Form





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