We give a new elementary proof of Landau's Prime Ideal Theorem. The proof is an extension of Richter's proof of the Prime Number Theorem. The main result contains other results related to the equidistribution of the prime ideal counting…

The derivative of the associated Legendre function of the first kind of integer degree with respect to its order, $\partial P_{n}^{\mu}(z)/\partial\mu$, is studied. After deriving and investigating general formulas for $\mu$ arbitrary…

We prove a couple of related theorems including Legendre's and Andrica's conjecture. Key to the proofs is an algorithm that delivers the exact upper bound on the greatest gap that can occur in a combinatorial game with the set of P primes…

In this work we study the associated Legendre functions of the second kind with a purely imaginary argument $Q^k_\ell(\mathbb{i}\, x)$. We derive the conditions under which they provide a set of square integrable functions when $x \in…

The notion of the H\"older convolution is introduced. The main result is that, under general conditions on functions L_1, ..., L_n, the function inverse to the Legendre--Fenchel transform of the H\"older convolution of L_1, ..., L_n…

Associated Legendre functions of fractional degree appear in the solution of boundary value problems in wedges or in toroidal geometries, and elsewhere in applied mathematics. In the classical case when the degree is half an odd integer,…

Legendre's relation for the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds is generalized. The proof depends on an application of the generalized trigonometric functions and is alternative to the proof for Elliott's identity.
