Stratton (1935), Chu and Stratton (1941), and Rhodes (1970) define the spheroidal functions as those solutions of the differential equation

that remain finite at the singular points . The condition of finiteness restricts the admissible values of the parameter to a discrete set of eigenvalues indexed by , 1, 2, ... (Rhodes 1970).
The radial solution in prolate spheroidal coordinates satisfies the differential equation

and the angular solution satisfies

Note that the differential equations are identical, so the radial and angular wavefunctions satisfy the same differential equation over different ranges of the variable (Abramowitz and Stegun 1972, p. 753).
Angular spheroidal harmonics are implemented in the Wolfram Language as SpheroidalPS[n, m, gamma, x] and SpheroidalQS[n, m, gamma, x]; radial spheroidal harmonics are implemented as SpheroidalS1[n, m, gamma, x] and SpheroidalS2[n, m, gamma, x]; and eigenvalues are implemented as SpheroidalEigenvalue[n, m, gamma].
Spheroidal wave functions become elementary if and .
The angular wave functions have series expansions about given by

The radial wavefunctions have asymptotic behavior as given by
