Laguerre polynomials are defined as solutions of Laguerre's differential equation:
xy'' + (1-x)y' + ny = 0Solutions corresponding to the non-negative integer n can be expressed using Rodrigues' formula
![]()
or can be constructed using the three term recurrence relation:
L0 (x) = 1The recurrence relation given above is the most efficient way to calculate the Laguerre polynomial. The LaguerreCalculate subroutine uses this relation to calculate Ln (x) for any given x.
The LaguerreSum subroutine calculates the sum of Laguerre polynomials c0 L0 (x) + c1 L1 (x) + ... + cn Ln (x) using Clenshaw's recurrence formula.
The LaguerreCoefficients subroutine can represent Ln (x) as a sum of powers of x: c0 + c1 x + ... + cn x n.
