OrthogonalPolynomialsLegendreP Method (Int32, Int32, Double)

public static double LegendreP(
	int l,
	int m,
	double x
)

Public Shared Function LegendreP ( 
	l As Integer,
	m As Integer,
	x As Double
) As Double

public:
static double LegendreP(
	int l, 
	int m, 
	double x
)

static member LegendreP : 
        l : int * 
        m : int * 
        x : float -> float 

Parameters

l

Type: SystemInt32
The order, which must be non-negative.

m

Type: SystemInt32
The associated order, which must lie between -l and l inclusive.

x

Type: SystemDouble
The argument, which must lie on the closed interval between -1 and +1.

Return Value

Associated Legendre polynomials appear in the definition of the SphericalHarmonic(Int32, Int32, Double, Double) functions.

For values of l and m over about 150, values of this polynomial can exceed the capacity of double-wide floating point numbers.
