Asymptotic forms of Legendre functions for large degree
In addition to the Carlo Beenakker's answer. The following asymptotic expansion was proved in https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0041555365901345?via%3Dihub (Asymptotic formulae for leg …

Is $\frac{\pi}{4}L_0(z) = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{+\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{I_{2n-1}(z)}{2n-1}$ b...
This relation is a special case of a more general one:
$$L_\nu(z)=\frac{4}{\sqrt{\pi}\,\Gamma\left(\nu+\frac{1}{2}\right)}\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n\,(2n+\nu+1)\,\Gamma(n+\nu+1)}{n!\,(2n+1)(2n+2\nu …

Asymptotic behaviour of function from integral representation
If we expand $\cos{(2y\sqrt{t})}$ into Taylor series and integrate term by term, we get $$\phi_1(y,\lambda)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n}{(2n)!}\frac{\Gamma\left(n+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\lambda}{ …

Integral involving square of associated Laguerre polynomial and sperical bessel function
In a quantum mechanical problem I encountered the integral
$$I_k=\int_0^\infty x^{2(l+1)-k}j_k(\sigma x)e^{-x}[L_{n-l-1}^{2l+1}(x)]^2 dx,$$
where $j_k(x)$ is a spherical Bessel function, and $\sigma$ …

Choice of branch cuts in logarithmic integral
According to 8.111 from Lewin's book "Polylogarithms and associated functions", it is expected that
