78 II INDUCTION IN ROTATING SPHERES their close relation to Bessel's functions; in fact we may express J in terms of Pm++ and m+ m We may now remove p from the formula expressing our result, and thus we obtain¹ Final form of the solu- tion. 2n+1 2n Its applica- tion.

In the first place, let the spherical shell be very thin, and let d be its thickness. Then S is only slightly different from s. Let S =s+δ, where now δ = μα. For σ we may put any convenient value between s and S; suppose σ = = S. We substitute these values in the above formula. In the denominator we employ the substitution In-1 = 2n+1 2n -In+ λέσε 4n(n+1 -In+1 and divide by the numerator. Thus we obtain $1+02 √-1 1 λ2s2 In+1(λs)In+1( − λS) − In+1( − λs)In+1(XS)• - 1+ 2(n+1)(2n+1) In+1(s)In(-AS) − In+1( − λs)In(XS) We develop and put In+1(XS) = In+1{λ(s+8)} = In+1(λs) +λdg′n+1(As) =2n+1(λs)+ 8x2s 2(n + 2) In+2(As), In+1(-AS) = In+1(−λs) + 8x2s - 2(n + 2)²n+2( − λs). 1 From this point onwards we write A instead of λ₁; thus— λ=√(1+√=1).
