5.7.2.11.1. scipy.special.assoc_laguerre¶

scipy.special.assoc_laguerre(x, n, k=0.0)[source]¶

Compute nth-order generalized (associated) Laguerre polynomial.

The polynomial \(L^(alpha)_n(x)\) is orthogonal over [0, inf), with weighting function exp(-x) * x**alpha with alpha > -1.

Notes

assoc_laguerre is a simple wrapper around eval_genlaguerre, with reversed argument order (x, n, k=0.0) --> (n, k, x).
