algebraic expression
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 w⁡x=ⅇ−x2. They satisfy:
∫−∞∞w⁡t⁢H⁡n,t⁢H⁡m,tⅆt=0n≠mπ⁢2n⁢n!n=m
Hermite polynomials satisfy the following recurrence relation:
H⁡0,x=1,
H⁡1,x=2⁢x,
H⁡n,x=2⁢x⁢H⁡n−1,x−2⁢n−1⁢H⁡n−2,x,for n>1.
