A laguerre polynomial at one point can be expressed in terms of neighboring laguerre polynomials at the same point. If no alpha is supplied, alpha is set to zero and this function calculates the normal laguerre polynomial. Generalized laguerre polynomial file exchange matlab. To compare the classical orthogonal laguerre polynomials and the claguerre functions we provide a summary of their properties in table 1. Laguerres equation is equivalent to the statement that l m x is the eigenfunction with eigenvalue m of the second order di.
