Abstract

A new method is given for evaluating the angular wave functions of a triaxial ellipsoid, that arise when the variables are separated in the three-dimensional Helmholtz equation in an ellipsoidal system of coordinates, and which are the eigenfunctions of the discrete spectrum of two-parameter singular selfadjoint boundary-value problems. The method is fairly universal, and enables the Lamé angular wave functions to be evaluated over a wide range of variation of the parameters of the problem. The scope for using a similar approach for solving more general multiparameter boundary-value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations is discussed.
