Legendre Polynomials: Rodriques Formula and Recursion RelationsJackson says By manipulation of the power series solutions it is possible to obtain a compactrepresentation of the Legendre polynomials known as Rodrigues Formula . Here is a proofthat Rodrigues Formula indeed produces a solution to Legendre s differential equation. Fromthe differential equation, assuming a series solutionPn=Pajxj( = 0) we obtained therelationaj+2=j(j+ 1) n(n+ 1)(j+ 1)(j+ 2)aj[JDJ ( ), with = 0]. Withj=n 2k, this is satisfied byan 2k= ( 1)k(2n 2k)!2nk! (n k)!
