  PlanetMath: Laguerre polynomial
The ordinary Laguerre polynomials are the special case of the generalized Laguerre polynomials when the parameter goes to zero.
When some result holds for generalized Laguerre polynomials which is not more complicated than that for ordinary Laguerre polynomials, we shall only provide the more general result and leave it to the reader to send the parameter to zero to recover the more specific result.
This is version 17 of Laguerre polynomial, born on 2002-03-06, modified 2007-03-03.

 Laguerre (print-only)
Laguerre studied approximation methods and is best remembered for the special functions the Laguerre polynomials which are solutions of the Laguerre differential equations.
Laguerre was pictured by his contemporaries as a quiet, gentle man who was passionately devoted to his research, his teaching, and the education of his two daughters.
Laguerre wrote 140 memoirs which he published in the leading journals of his time so it is reasonable to ask why he is only known for the results mentioned specifically above.

 Orthogonal polynomials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The field of orthogonal polynomials developed in the late 19th century from a study of continued fractions by Stieltjes.
Because all polynomial sequences arising from a differential equation in the manner described above are trivially equivalent to the classical polynomials, the actual classical polynomials are always used.
The Jacobi-like polynomials, once they have had their domain shifted and scaled so that the interval of orthogonality is [-1, 1], still have two parameters to be determined.

The differential equation is not affected by changes in a multiplicative constant in the definition of the polynomial.
The Laguerre polynomials are really rather straightforward examples of orthogonal polynomials, and most of their properties can be derived from Rodrigues' formula.

A classical result relating weighted Motzkin paths, moment sequences of orthogonal polynomial families (o.p.f.), and continued fractions states that the moments $μ_n$ of the o.p.f.
In this paper the particular choice of $b_k=a[k+1]_{r,s}+b[k]_{t,u}$, $\lambda_k=ab[k]_{p,q}[k]_{v,w}$ is considered, where $[k]_{r,s}=(r^k-s^k)/(r-s)$, etc. A general (bijective) result shows how the moments $\mu_n$ can be interpreted as generating polynomials for certain statistics on permutations associated with the 8 counting parameters $p,q,r,s,t,u,v,\break w$.
These cases are related to the little $q$-Jacobi polynomials and to the $q$-Laguerre polynomials.}, author = {Simion, R. and Stanton, D. citeulike-article-id = {671653}, doi = {10.1137/S003614109322854X}, journal = {SIAM J. Math.

Subject: question on Laguerre polynomials of matrix argument
Tom Koornwinder -------------------------------------------------------- What is the kernel function for the Laguerre polynomials when the variables are 2 by 2 hermitian matrices, rather than real?
The question may come down to expressing a Bessel function of a matrix (the 2 by 2 hermitian case is what I have) in a nice closed form in terms of ordinary scalar Bessel functions, if that is possible.
