Résumé

On rencontre souvent des produits de fonctions de Legendre en géodésie mathématique, en mécanique céleste et quantique, et en géophysique. Nous donnons les expressions générales des coefficients de la décomposition d'un produit quelconque sur la base des fonctions de Legendre ellesmêmes. Quelques applications immédiates sont envisagées.
