Abstract

In this paper, a generalized formula for the definite integral of three associated Legendre polynomials of the first kind that arises in various physical applications is given in terms of the 3F2 hypergeometric function and the 3 - j symbols. The special case, when the integral reduces to a particularly simple familiar expression, is also mentioned.
