An integral representation of the Bessel functions for any :
![]() | (*) |
![]() |
when . It is valid for all integer
. Formula (*) can be derived from
![]() |
Formula (*) was first given by L. Schläfli .
An integral representation of the Legendre polynomials:
![]() |
where is a contour making one counter-clockwise turn around
. This representation was first given by L. Schläfli [2].

Comments
The reduction of the Schläfli integral to the second integral representation for is valid for unrestricted values of
(see also [a3], 6.2
and ). The integral representation for the Legendre polynomials follows from the Rodrigues formula, similarly as for the Jacobi polynomials (cf. [a2], (4.4.6) and (4.8.1)).
