# scipy.special.assoc_laguerre

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

  Compute the generalized (associated) Laguerre polynomial of degree n and order k.

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

  Notes

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