${\displaystyle P_{4}^{-3}(x)=-{\begin{matrix}{\frac {1}{5040}}\end{matrix}}P_{4}^{3}(x)}$

${\displaystyle P_{4}^{-2}(x)={\begin{matrix}{\frac {1}{360}}\end{matrix}}P_{4}^{2}(x)}$

${\displaystyle P_{4}^{-1}(x)=-{\begin{matrix}{\frac {1}{20}}\end{matrix}}P_{4}^{1}(x)}$

${\displaystyle P_{4}^{0}(x)={\begin{matrix}{\frac {1}{8}}\end{matrix}}(35x^{4}-30x^{2}+3)}$

${\displaystyle P_{4}^{3}(x)=-105x(1-x^{2})^{3/2}}$

${\displaystyle P_{4}^{4}(x)=105(1-x^{2})^{2}}$

Desse funksjonane har fleire gjentakande eigenskapar:

${\displaystyle (\ell -m+1)P_{\ell +1}^{m}(x)=(2\ell +1)xP_{\ell }^{m}(x)-(\ell +m)P_{\ell -1}^{m}(x)}$

${\displaystyle 2mxP_{\ell }^{m}(x)=-{\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}\left[P_{\ell }^{m+1}(x)+(\ell +m)(\ell -m+1)P_{\ell }^{m-1}(x)\right]}$

${\displaystyle P_{\ell +1}^{m}(x)=P_{\ell -1}^{m}(x)-(2\ell +1){\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}P_{\ell }^{m-1}(x)}$

${\displaystyle {\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}P_{\ell }^{m+1}(x)=(\ell -m)xP_{\ell }^{m}(x)-(\ell +m)P_{\ell -1}^{m}(x)}$

${\displaystyle (x^{2}-1){P_{\ell }^{m}}'(x)={\ell }xP_{\ell }^{m}(x)-(\ell +m)P_{\ell -1}^{m}(x)}$

${\displaystyle (x^{2}-1){P_{\ell }^{m}}'(x)={\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}P_{\ell }^{m+1}(x)+mxP_{\ell }^{m}(x)}$

${\displaystyle (x^{2}-1){P_{\ell }^{m}}'(x)=-(\ell +m)(\ell -m+1){\sqrt {1-x^{2}}}P_{\ell }^{m-1}(x)-mxP_{\ell }^{m}(x)}$

Nyttige identitetar (initialverdiar for den første repetisjonen):

${\displaystyle P_{\ell }^{\ell }(x)=(-1)^{l}(2\ell -1)!!(1-x^{2})^{(l/2)}}$

${\displaystyle P_{\ell +1}^{\ell }(x)=x(2\ell +1)P_{\ell }^{\ell }(x)}$

med !! som dobbelfaktor.
