Ince Polynomials

Calculate the Ince polynomials of the Ince equation

You are now following this Submission

The Ince equation,
d^2F/dz^2 + q*sin(2z)dF/dz+(\eta p*q*cos(2z))*F=0,

is a periodic linear second-order differential equation that has two families of independent solutions: the even C^{m}_p(z,q) and odd S^{m}_p(z,q) Ince polynomials of order p and degree m, and parameter q. These functions calculate the Ince polynomials.
