Apologies if this has been answered else where. How does Mathematica compute the value of LaguerreL[n,a,x] with negative n? How is the function defined? From what I understand n has to be positive, and in my (admittedly not exhaustive) searching I only come across information that says that n must be positive. Cheers, Ben
