Temme, N.M.
Asymptotic estimates for Laguerre polynomials. (English)
[J] Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 41, No.1, 114-126 (1990). ISSN 0044-2275; ISSN 1420-9039/e

A summary is given of recent results concerning the asymptotic behaviour of the Laguerre polynomials $L\sb n\sp{(\alpha)}(x)$. First the results are summarized of a paper of Frenzen and Wong in which $n\to \infty$ and $\alpha >-1$ is fixed. Two different expansions are needed in that case, one with a J-Bessel function and one with an Airy function as main approximant. Second, three other forms are given in which $\alpha$ is not necessarily fixed. Again Bessel and Airy functions are used, and in another form the comparison function is a Hermite polynomial. A numerical verification of the new expansion in terms of the Hermite polynomial is given by comparing the zeroes of the approximant with the related zeros of the Laguerre polynomial.
