LaguerreL

LaguerreL[n, x] gives the Laguerre polynomial .

LaguerreL[n, a, x] gives the generalized Laguerre polynomial .

Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).

Explicit polynomials are given when possible.

.

The Laguerre polynomials are orthogonal with weight function .

They satisfy the differential equation .

LaguerreL[n, x] is an entire function of x with no branch cut discontinuities.
