Abstract

I consider the power series expansion of Lame function in the Weierstrass's form and its integral forms applying three term recurrence formula[1]. I investigate asymptotic expansions of Lame function for the cases of infinite series and polynomials. I will show how the power series expansion of Lame functions in the Weierstrass's form can be converted to closed-form integrals for all cases of infinite series and polynomial. One interesting observation resulting from the calculations is the fact that a Gauss hypergeometric function recurs in each of sub-integral forms: the first sub-integral form contains zero term of A_n's, the second one contains one term of A_n's, the third one contains two terms of A_n's, etc. This paper is 7th out of 10 in series "Special functions and three term recurrence formula (3TRF)". See section 7 for all the papers in the series. Previous paper in series deals with the power series expansion and the integral formalism of Lame equation in the algebraic form and its asymptotic behavior[19]. The next paper in the series describes the generating functions of Lame equation in the Weierstrass's form[21]. Nine examples of 192 local solutions of the Heun equation (Maier, 2007) are provided in the appendix. For each example, I show how to convert local solutions of Heun equation by applying 3TRF to analytic solutions of Lame equation in Weierstrass's form.
