Abstract: We introduce a generalization $G^{(alpha)}(X)$ of the truncated logarithm $mathcal{L}_1(X)=su{m}_{k=1}^{p-1}{X}^k/k$ in characteristic $p$, which depends on a parameter $alpha$. The main motivation of this study is $G^{(alpha)}(X)$ being an inverse, in an appropriate sense, of a parametrized generalization of the truncated exponential given by certain Laguerre polynomials. Such Laguerre polynomials play a role in a grading switching technique for non-associative algebras, previously developed by the authors, because they satisfy a weak analogue of the functional equation $exp(X)exp(Y)=exp(X+Y)$ of the exponential series. We also investigate functional equations satisfied by $G^{(alpha)}(X)$ motivated by known functional equations for $mathcal{L}_1(X)=-G^{(0)}(X)$.
