In this paper, a new generalization of the associated Legendre functions of the first and the second kinds is introduced using the r-generalized Gauss hypergeometric function. The basic properties of these functions, in particular, some recurrence relations and differential and integral representations, are given. The Whipple formulae are established. A new generalization of the classical Mehler-Fock integral transform is constructed, and the inversion formula is proved. Some new integrals involving the functions τ,β r P μ ν (t) and τ,β r P m,n k (z) are evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
