This paper is paper gives what appears to be a new Rodrigues’ formula for the Associated Legendre Polynomials defined by [5, p. 122]

with the restriction that m is an even positive integer, which helps to evaluate some integrals. Putting m = 2k in (1.1) and replacing Pn(x) by the Gegenbauer Polynomial and using [3, p. 176]

We obtain

Putting a =v–½ in the relation [4, p. 283]

We get
