The main part of Smirnov (1996) consists of V. I. Smirnov’s 1918 M. Sc. thesis “Inversion problem for a second-order linear differential equation with four singular points”. It describes the monodromy group of Heun’s equation for specific values of the accessory parameter.

Correction (effective with 1.0.21):: The Jacobi polynomials in (31.16.1) which previously linked incorrectly to the constants $P_{j}$ , now link correctly. Originally $x, y$ were incorrectly defined by the set of equations (31.16.2), given previously as “ $x={\sin}^{2}\theta{\cos}^{2}\phi,$ $y={\sin}^{2}\theta{\sin}^{2}\phi$ .” It now states that $x, y$ are implicitly defined by the corrected set of equations. In (31.16.3), the initial data $A_{0}$ , previously missing, has now been included.

Expansions of Heun polynomial products in terms of Jacobi polynomial (§18.3) products are derived in Kalnins and Miller (1991a, b, 1993) from the viewpoint of interrelation between two bases in a Hilbert space:

By specifying either $\theta$ or $\phi$ in (31.16.1) and (31.16.2) we obtain expansions in terms of one variable.
