/* floating-point-type */ laguerre( unsigned int n, /* floating-point-type */ x ); (since C++23)

Additional overloads
Defined in header
template< class Integer > double laguerre ( unsigned int n, Integer x ); (A) (since C++17)

1-3) Computes the non-associated Laguerre polynomials of the degree n and argument x. The library provides overloads of std::laguerre for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter x.(since C++23)

A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

n - the degree of the polynomial, an unsigned integer value
x - the argument, a floating-point or integer value

[edit] Return value

If no errors occur, value of the nonassociated Laguerre polynomial of x, that is (xn
_e_-x), is returned.

[edit] Error handling

Errors may be reported as specified in math_errhandling

[edit] Notes

Implementations that do not support C++17, but support ISO 29124:2010, provide this function if __STDCPP_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ is defined by the implementation to a value at least 201003L and if the user defines __STDCPP_WANT_MATH_SPEC_FUNCS__ before including any standard library headers.

Implementations that do not support ISO 29124:2010 but support TR 19768:2007 (TR1), provide this function in the header tr1/cmath and namespace std::tr1.

An implementation of this function is also available in boost.math.

The Laguerre polynomials are the polynomial solutions of the equation .

The first few are:

Function Polynomial
laguerre(0, x) 1
laguerre(1, x) -x + 1
laguerre(2, x) 12(x2 - 4x + 2)
laguerre(3, x) 16(-x3 - 9x2 - 18x + 6)

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::laguerre(int_num, num) has the same effect as std::laguerre(int_num, static_cast<double>(num)).

[edit] Example

#include #include   double L1(double x) { return -x + 1; }   double L2(double x) { return 0.5 * (x * x - 4 * x + 2); }   int main() { // spot-checks std::cout << std::laguerre(1, 0.5) << '=' << L1(0.5) << '\n' << std::laguerre(2, 0.5) << '=' << L2(0.5) << '\n' << std::laguerre(3, 0.0) << '=' << 1.0 << '\n'; }
