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.

Parameters

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

Return value

If no errors occur, value of the nonassociated Laguerre polynomial of x, that is

ex

n!

dn

dxn

(xn
e^-x), is returned.

Error handling

Errors may be reported as specified in math_errhandling

• If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned and domain error is not reported
• If x is negative, a domain error may occur
• If n is greater or equal than 128, the behavior is implementation-defined

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)	1 2 (x2 - 4x + 2)
laguerre(3, x)	1 6 (-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)).

Example

Run this code

#include <cmath>#include <iostream>   double L1(double x){return-x +1;}   double L2(double x){return0.5*(x * x -4* x +2);}   int main(){// spot-checksstd::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';}

Output:

0.5=0.5 0.125=0.125 1=1
