Relation To Hypergeometric Functions
The Laguerre polynomials may be defined in terms of hypergeometric functions, specifically the confluent hypergeometric functions, as
where is the Pochhammer symbol (which in this case represents the rising factorial).

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation and/or functions:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood.

“Hesitation increases in relation to risk in equal proportion to age.”
