Prove the orthogonality of vector spherical harmonics

We define $S_a^{lm} = \Big( - \frac{1}{\sin \theta} Y^{lm}_{,\varphi}, \sin \theta\ Y^{lm}_{,\theta} \Big)$ $Y_a^{lm} = \Big( Y^{lm}_{,\theta}, Y^{lm}_{,\varphi} \Big)$ to be the axial vector ...

Expansion of prolate spheroidal harmonics

For two coordinate frames $O'$ and $O''$ both offset along the $z$-axis by $\pm R$ respectively, with corresponding offset spherical coordinates $r'$, $\theta'$, $r''$ and $\theta''$, and with prolate ...

Legendre equation with homogeneous boundary condition

I'm looking for solutions to the Legendre differential equation $$ \frac{d}{dx}\left((1-x^2)\frac{d}{dx}f(x)\right)+(\alpha-1)\alpha f(x)=0 $$ with boundary conditions $f'(0)=0$ and $f(1)=0$, but ...
