glaguerre.quadrature.rules: Create list of generalized Laguerre quadrature rules

Description

This function returns a list with $n$ elements containing the order $k$ quadrature rule data frame for the generalized Laguerre polynomials for orders $k = 1,\;2,\; \ldots ,\;n$.

Usage

glaguerre.quadrature.rules(n,alpha)

Arguments

n

integer value for the highest order

alpha

numeric value for the polynomial parameter

Value

• A list with $n$ elements each of which is a quadrature rule data frame
• 1
  Quadrature rule for the order 1 generalized Laguerre polynomial
• 2
  Quadrature rule for the order 2 generalized Laguerre polynomial
• ...
• n
  Quadrature rule for the order $n$ generalized Laguerre polynomial

Details

An order $k$ quadrature data frame is a named data frame that contains the roots and abscissa values of the corresponding order $k$ orthogonal polynomial. The column with name x contains the roots or zeros and the column with name w contains the weights.
