10.54.5

${\mathsf{h}^{(1)}_{n}}\left(z\right)=\frac{(-i)^{n+1}}{\pi}\int_{i\infty}^{(1+% )}e^{izt}Q_{n}\left(t\right)\,\mathrm{d}t,$

${\mathsf{h}^{(2)}_{n}}\left(z\right)=\frac{(-i)^{n+1}}{\pi}\int_{i\infty}^{(-1% +)}e^{izt}Q_{n}\left(t\right)\,\mathrm{d}t,$ $|\operatorname{ph}z|<\tfrac{1}{2}\pi.$

For the Legendre polynomial $P_{n}$ and the associated Legendre function $Q_{n}$ see §§18.3 and 14.21(i), with $\mu=0$ and $\nu=n$ .

Additional integral representations can be obtained by combining the definitions (10.47.3)–(10.47.9) with the results given in §10.9 and §10.32.
