Generalized Laguerre polynomials

Description

Calculates the Generalized Laguerre polynomials of degree n and order alpha. When alpha is set to zero it reduces to the normal Laguerre polynomials.

Part of MathLib, a diverse library of mathematical functions.

NOTE: The functionality found here may be superseded by SimpleNumber: -laguerreAssoc

Class Methods

GenLaguerre.new(n, a)

a

The order of the generalized Laguerre polynomial. An instance of SimpleNumber.

GenLaguerre.calc(n, a, x)

Calculates the generalized Laguerre polynomial of degree n and order alpha for x.

Arguments:

n

The degree of the generalized Laguerre polynomial. An instance of Integer.

a

The order of the generalized Laguerre polynomial. An instance of SimpleNumber.

x

An instance of SimpleNumber.
