Some further results on Legendre numbers

The Legendre numbers, Pnm, are expressed in terms of those numbers, Pkm−1, in the previous column down to Pnm and in terms of those, Pkm, above but in the same column. Other results are given for numbers close to a given number. The limit of the quotient of two consecutive non-zero numbers in any on...

description The Legendre numbers, Pnm, are expressed in terms of those numbers, Pkm−1, in the previous column down to Pnm and in terms of those, Pkm, above but in the same column. Other results are given for numbers close to a given number. The limit of the quotient of two consecutive non-zero numbers in any one column is shown to be −1. Bounds for the Legendre numbers are described by circles centered at the origin. A connection between Legendre numbers and Pascal numbers is exhibited by expressing the Legendre numbers in terms of combinations.
