SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the implementation of associated Legendre polynomials of the first and second kind, denoted as ##P_i^j## and ##Q_i^j##, in MATLAB. Users are seeking efficient methods or built-in functions for these polynomials, which are readily available in Mathematica. The MATLAB documentation link provided points to the Legendre function, which can assist in generating these polynomials.

Hi PF!

In MATLAB I'm trying to use associated Legendre polynomials of the 1st and second kind, widely regarded as ##P_i^j## and ##Q_i^j##, where ##j=0## reduces these to simply the Legendre polynomials of the 1st and second kind (not associated).

Does anyone here know if MATLAB has a built in function, or the most efficient way to build them? Also, I have Mathematica, and they are built in there.

Thanks!

Josh
