Laguerre polynomial

Laguerre polynomial

Laguerre polynomials are a classical family of orthogonal polynomials. Associated Laguerre polynomials are commonly written $L_n^{(\alpha)}(x)$.

They satisfy a second-order differential equation and arise in approximation theory, special-function analysis, asymptotic analysis, probability and quantum mechanics. Their large-degree behaviour includes well-studied transition and turning-point regimes.
