A new bound for the Laguerre polynomials (Q5946620): Difference between revisions

The aim of the authors is to improve the bound estimation already given by Szegö for the Laguerre polynomials \(L_n^{(\alpha)}(x)\) defined through the expansion \[ (1-z)^{-\alpha-1} \exp\left( -{xz\over 1-z} \right)= \sum^\infty_{n=0}L_n^{(\alpha)} (x)z^n, \quad |z|<1. \] Here are \(\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\), \(x\geq 0\) and \(n=0,1,2, \dots\). The estimation obtained by the authors is valid for \(\alpha\geq -1/2\) and \(n=2,3,\dots\).
