Abstract |
|
A four-term recurrence relation for the 3-j coefficient is derived from a four-term recur-
rence relation for the 3F2(1) hypergeometric function, which is intimately connected
to the 3-j (or Clebsch-Gordan) coefficient. This new recurrence relation can also be
derived from two known three-term recurrence relations for the 3F2(1). Application of
the four-term recurrence relation to generate tables of the 3-j coefficients is discussed. |
