glaguerre.recurrences {orthopolynom}R Documentation

Recurrence relations for generalized Laguerre polynomials

Description

This function returns a data frame with $n$+1 rows and four named columns containing the coefficient vectors c, d, e and f of the recurrence relations for the order $k$ generalized Laguerre polynomial, L_n^{( α )} ( x ), and for orders $k$ = 0, 1, ... , $n$.

Usage

glaguerre.recurrences(n, alpha, normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n integer highest polynomial order
alpha polynomial parameter
normalized boolean value which, if TRUE, returns recurrence relations for normalized polynomials

Value

A data frame with the recurrence relation parameters.
