legendre — associated Legendre function ... When n and m are scalars, legendre(n,m,x) evaluates the associated Legendre function Pnm(x) at all the elements of x. The definition used is : ... where Pn is the Legendre polynomial of degree n. So legendre(n,0,x) evaluates the Legendre polynomial Pn(x) at all the elements of x.
