This book deals with integral transforms with Legendre functions, associated Legendre functions and generalizations of the latter in the kernel. The main topic is the derivation of inversion formulas and the application of the results on equations of mathematical physics. It is a survey on original papers by russian mathematicians (Belichenko, Belova/Ufliand, Lebedev/Skal'skaya, Moshinskii, Nikolaev), Bracksma and Meulenbeld, the authors and some others in the last 40 years. The inversion formulas are given (partly proved) in certain spaces of functions. The first chapter contains properties of the kernels. In chapter 2 the Mehler-Fock transform of order zero, integer order and with complex superscripts is discussed. Chapters 3 and 4 deals with transforms with the associated and the generalized associated Legendre functions (closely connected with the so-called Jacobi functions) in the kernel, where the inversion formulas are integrals with respect to the (resp. one) superscript. Finally chapter 5 contains similar results for the so-called non-periodic Legendre resp. associated Legendre functions. Investigations in spaces of generalized functions are not included. Since this booklet is not a monography the references are not complete, especially the results of Belorussian school are not considered.
