Generalized Heine’s identity for complex Fourier series of binomials

Abstract

In his treatise, Heine ( Heine 1881 In Theorie und Anwendungen ) gave an identity for the Fourier series of the function , with , and z >1, in terms of associated Legendre functions of the second kind . In this paper, we generalize Heine’s identity for the function , with , and , in terms of . We also compute closed-form expressions for some  .
