Prove this statement

mercredi 17 septembre 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

For [itex]y=sin(m \arcsin x) [/itex], prove that

$$(1-x^2)y_{n+2} - (2n+1)xy_{n+1}+(m^2-n^2)y_n=0 $$



2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

My first approach would be to find a general expression for y_n. Starting with

$$y_1=m\dfrac{\cos(m \arcsin x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \\

y_2 = m\dfrac{\cos(m \arcsin x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}(1-x^2)} - m^2 \dfrac{\sin(m \arcsin x)}{1-x^2} $$



The expression seems to get uglier as n increases and it's too difficult to calculate y_3. Also it's not easy to generalize an expression for y_n just by looking at the results obtained.
