Expression as a Legendre Function, of an Elliptic Integral Occuring in Wing Theory
Abstract
An integral that often arises in potential theory is shown to be related to half order Legendre functions of the second kind including a special form of the integral studied by Riegels. Series expansions of these Legendre functions for values of the argument in the neighborhood of unity and much greater than unity are also presented. For convenient reference, recursion formulas and expressions in terms of elliptic integrals are noted.
