The Legendre functions, often referred to in the context of Legendre polynomials and Legendre functions of the first and second kind, arise in the solution of a variety of problems in physics and engineering, particularly in the fields of potential theory and solving partial differential equations. 1. **Legendre Polynomials**: These are a sequence of orthogonal polynomials defined on the interval \([-1, 1]\) and are denoted as \(P_n(x)\).
