Generalized axisymmetric potentials Fα (GASP) are regular solutions to the generalized axisymmetric potential equation

(1.1)

in some neighborhood Ω of the origin where they are subject to the initial data

(1.2)

along the singular line y = 0. In Ω, these potentials may be uniquely expanded in terms of the complete set of normalized ultraspherical polynomials

(1.3)

defined from the symmetric Jacobi polynomials Pn(α, α)(ξ) of degree n with parameter α as Fourier series
