Infinite sum of Legendre Polynomials

755 Views Asked by At

The infinite sum of a single Legendre Polynomial has a well known expression. Are there any explicit formulas for the infinite sum of the product of two Legendre Polynomials? I'm interested on polynomials of both First and Second kind (usually denoted $P_l$ and $Q_l$ respectively).

$\sum_{l=0}^{\infty} P_l(x)P_l(y)= ?$

$\sum_{l=0}^{\infty} P_l(x)Q_l(y)= ?$

and variants of this, like inserting $(i)^l$.
