# scipy.special.ellip_harm_2

scipy.special.ellip_harm_2(h2, k2, n, p, s)

  Ellipsoidal harmonic functions F^p_n(l)

  These are also known as Lame functions of the second kind, and are solutions to the Lame equation:

  \[(s^2 - h^2)(s^2 - k^2)F''(s) + s(2s^2 - h^2 - k^2)F'(s) + (a - q s^2)F(s) = 0\]

  where \(q = (n+1)n\) and \(a\) is the eigenvalue (not returned) corresponding to the solutions.

  Parameters
    h2 float

      `h**2`

    k2 float

      `k**2`; should be larger than `h**2`

    n int

      Degree.

    p int

      Order, can range between [1,2n+1].

    s float

      Coordinate

  Returns
    F float

      The harmonic \(F^p_n(s)\)

  Notes

  Lame functions of the second kind are related to the functions of the first kind:

  \[F^p_n(s)=(2n + 1)E^p_n(s)\int_{0}^{1/s}\frac{du}{(E^p_n(1/u))^2\sqrt{(1-u^2k^2)(1-u^2h^2)}}\]

  New in version 0.15.0.
