Laguerre Differential Equation
 | (1) |
The Laguerre differential equation is a special case of the more general ``associated Laguerre differential equation''
 | (2) |
with . Note that if , then the solution to the associated Laguerre differential equation is of theform
 | (3) |
and the solution can be found using an Integrating Factor
so

The associated Laguerre differential equation has a Regular Singular Point at 0 and an IrregularSingularity at . It can be solved using a series expansion,  | |  | (6) |

This requires
for . Therefore,

If is a Positive Integer, then the series terminates and the solution is a Polynomial, knownas an associated Laguerre Polynomial (or, if , simply aLaguerre Polynomial).See also Laguerre Polynomial
