For several years I have been trying to get orthogonal functions out of
circular cycloidal standing waves.
By converting them to roses (by subtraction the case of a circle) that 
are Fourier function like
I was finally successful today. ( these also work for n->{-1,-8}).

Clear[p, ps, t, n, Inm, Enm]
(* normalized standing wave functions*)
(* circular standing waves with circle Exp[I*t] subtracted gives 
normalized \
roses ( related to Fourier functions)*)
w[n_] = FullSimplify[Sqrt[1/Integrate[((2 - 1/n)*Exp[I*t]/2 + Exp[I*t*(n - \
1)]/(2*n) - Exp[I*t])*((2 - 1/n)*Exp[-I*t]/2 +
       Exp[-I*t*(n - 1)]/(2*n) - Exp[-I*t]), {t, -Pi, Pi}]]]
p[t_, n_] = FullSimplify[
  w[n]*((2 - 1/n)*Exp[I*t]/2 + Exp[I*t*(n - 1)]/(2*n) - Exp[I*t])]
ps[t_, n_] = FullSimplify[w[n]*((2 - 1/n)*
                Exp[-I*t]/2 + Exp[-I*t*(n - 1)]/(2*n) - Exp[-I*t])]
Inm = Table[2*(N[Integrate[p[x, n]*ps[x, m], {x, -Pi, Pi}]] - 0.5), {
                n, 3, 8}, {m, 3, 8}]
MatrixForm[Inm]
Enm = Table[2*(N[Integrate[p[x, n]*(D[
          ps[x, m], {x, 2}]), {x, -Pi, Pi}]] + .5), {n, 3, 8}, {m, 3, 8}]

(* here are the standing waves themselves*)
