Abstract
In this study, a new method evaluate the auxiliary function \({B_{m^\prime m}^j \left( { \beta }\right)}\) which the function appears in the matrix elements \({d_{m^\prime ,m}^j \left( \beta \right)}\) are formulated. Also, the generating functions, Rodrigues’ formula, and orthogonality relationships for the \({B_{m^\prime m}^j \left( { \beta }\right)}\) function are presented. To analyze their formal mathematical structure, \({B_{m^\prime m}^j \left( { \beta } \right)}\) functions are expressed in terms of the Jacobi, Gegenbauer, Legendre, and Chebyshev polynomials. \({B_{m^\prime m}^j \left( { \beta }\right)}\) functions and their linear combinations are calculated numerically for large values of the indices j, m′, m quantum numbers and β angles by using generating function. Finally, evaluating numerical values for them are checked with obtained control expressions and results of Öztekin and Özcan (J Math Chem 44:28, 2008).
