When , where is a nonnegative integer, it follows from
§2.9(i) that for any value of the system
(29.6.4)–(29.6.6) has a unique recessive solution
; furthermore

In addition, if satisfies (29.6.2), then (29.6.3)
applies.
In the special case , , there is a unique nontrivial
solution with the property , . This solution
can be constructed from (29.6.4) by backward recursion, starting
with and an arbitrary nonzero value of , followed by
normalization via (29.6.5) and (29.6.6). Consequently,
reduces to a Lamé polynomial; compare
§§29.12(i) and 29.15(i).
