    Abstract

    The translational addition theorems for the spherical scalar and vector wave functions are derived in a novel, unified way based on the simple and well-known concepts of the radiation and incoming wave patterns. This approach makes the derivation simpler and more transparent compared to the previous approaches. As a result, we also obtain alternative and partly simpler expressions for the translation coefficients in the vector case.
