on. n : int where ``n >= 0``; the degree of the Legendre function. Often called ``l`` (lower case L) in descriptions of the associated Legendre function z : array_like Input value. Returns ------- Pmn_z : (m+1, n+1) array Values for all orders 0..m and degrees 0..n Pmn_d_z : (m+1, n+1) array Derivatives for all orders 0..m and degrees 0..n See Also -------- clpmn: associated Legendre functions of the first kind for complex z Notes ----- In the interval (-1, 1), Ferrer's function of the first kind is returned. The phase convention used for the intervals (1, inf) and (-inf, -1) is such that the result is always real. References ---------- .. [1] Zhang, Shanjie and Jin, Jianming.
