# scipy.special.assoc_laguerre

`scipy.special.``assoc_laguerre`(x, n, k=0.0)

  Compute nth-order generalized (associated) Laguerre polynomial.

  The polynomial \(L^(alpha)_n(x)\) is orthogonal over `[0, inf)`, with weighting function `exp(-x) * x**alpha` with `alpha > -1`.

  Notes

  `assoc_laguerre` is a simple wrapper around `eval_genlaguerre`, with reversed argument order `(x, n, k=0.0) --> (n, k, x)`.
