HermiteH
  • HermiteH[ n , x ] gives the Hermite polynomial .
  • Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).
  • Explicit polynomials are given for non-negative integers n.
  • The Hermite polynomials satisfy the differential equation .
  • They are orthogonal polynomials with weight function in the interval .
  • HermiteH[ n , x ] is an entire function of x with no branch cut discontinuities.
  • See the Mathematica book: Section 3.2.9.
  • See also: LaguerreL.
