Bounds for zeros of the Laguerre polynomials (Q1873784): Difference between revisions

The author shows that the least and largest zeros \(x_1, x_n\) of the Laguerre polynomial \(L_n ^{(\alpha)}(x)\) satisfies \[ x_1 > s-r + {(s-r)^{2/3} \over 2r^{1/3}} \] \[ x_n < s+r + {(s+r)^{2/3} \over 2r^{1/3}} \] with \[ s=2n+ \alpha +1, \;r= \sqrt{4n^2 +(2n-1)(2 \alpha +2)} \] provided \(n\geq 7, \alpha \geq 8\).
