{wiki=Continuous_q-Laguerre_polynomials}
Continuous \\( q \\)-Laguerre polynomials are a family of orthogonal polynomials that generalize the classical Laguerre polynomials by incorporating the concept of \\( q \\)-calculus, which deals with discrete analogs of calculus concepts. These polynomials arise in various areas of mathematics and physics, including approximation theory, special functions, and quantum mechanics.
