Program Code for Calculation of Laguerre Polynomials (specially adapted for large indices)
/********************************************************************************
* This PL/1 subroutine calculates of the Laguerre polynomials, based on the recursive
* relationships (Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of Mathematical Functions):
*
* L0q(x)=1
* L1q(x)=q+1-x
* Lpq(x)=1/p.[(2p+q-1-x).Lp-1q(x) -(p-1+q).Lp-2q(x)]
*
*
* Input parameters are:
* X: argument of the Laguerre polynomial
* N0: principal quantum number
* L0: angular momentum quantum number
* ( note that p=N0-L0-1; q=2L0+1 )
*
* Output parameters are:
* L: mantissa of Laguerre-polynomial
* LEX: exponent of Laguerre-polynomial
*
* Required subroutines:
* NUM, ADD, MULT, DIV
* (to avoid numerical overflow or underflow for large indices).
*
*
* This program has worked well and correct for me in the past (using IBM PL/1 compilers),
* but I can't guarantee this for all compilers, especially if the code is translated
* into a different language.
*
* If there are any problems, please let me know and I mention the issue here.
* (for contact details see http://www.plasmaphysics.org.uk/feedback.htm ).
