Gauss-Laguerre quadrature

ID: gauss-laguerre-quadrature

For the weight on , use the zeros of a degree- Laguerre polynomial as quadrature nodes. Divide a polynomial of degree at most by that polynomial. The quotient term integrates to zero by orthogonality and vanishes at every node; interpolation of the remainder proves exactness. The two-node rule has nodes and corresponding weights , with the larger weight at the smaller node.
