Description

• 

The H(n, x) function computes the nth Hermite polynomial evaluated at x.

• 

The Hermite polynomials are orthogonal on the interval (,) with respect to the weight function wx=ⅇx2. They satisfy:

wtHn,tHm,tⅆt=0nmπ2nn!n=m

• 

Hermite polynomials satisfy the following recurrence relation:

H0,x=1,

H1,x=2x,

Hn,x=2xHn1,x2n1Hn2,x,for n>1.
