Abstract

We study the mathematical characteristics of the super-universal associated-Legendre polynomials arising from a kind of double ring-shaped potentials and obtain their polar angular wave functions with certain parity. We find that there exists the even or odd parity for the polar angular wave functions when the parameter η is taken to be positive integer, while there exist both even and odd parities when η is taken as positive non-integer real values. The relations among the super-universal associated-Legendre polynomials, the hypergeometric polynomials, and the Jacobi polynomials are also established.
