Coefficients and Roots of the Polynomials whichDefine the Derivatives of the Exponential

of (-e/T)

By Edwin S. Campbell, E. M. Fishbach,and J. O. Hirschfelder

The w-th derivative of exp (—t/T) can be shown to be of the form

(1) d" exp 1-e/rydT* = T~" exp l-e/T]WJ[t/T]

Wnlt/r\ = ¿ bn,i[e/Ty.

The b„,i are constant coefficients in a homogeneous polynomial of the w-th order in

[e/7"]. These polynomials attain added importance from their relation to the La-

guerre polynomials [1]

(2) WJMT] = (-mL.it/T2 - «Ln-i[e/r]}

L„[e/r]: the w-th order Laguerre polynomial.

The zeros of these polynomials are of interest since they locate the extreme values

of the derivatives of exp (—t/T). Furthermore, an accurate, simple computation

of the Wn for values of (t/T) which occur in physical problems sometimes requires

use of the polynomial roots. This occurs whenever the direct evaluation of Wn[t/T~\

by synthetic division introduces at intermediate steps of the calculation numbers

which are larger than the value of the polynomial. In such cases the subtraction of

these larger numbers can require the use of considerably more than the usual guard

figures which allow for the effect of ordinary round-off error. Fortunately the occur-

rence of this disastrous subtraction in synthetic division does not imply the occur-

rence when the polynomial is calculated using its roots

(3) WJL</r\ = fi &/Ï - r..,]

r„,j: the Z-th root of Wn-

The polynomial coefficients, bn,i, are integers. Table I lists all of their non-zero

digits which were computed from the recursion relations

(4) bn,i = i-iy-H\

K.i = -in + l- l)bn^i,i + Bb-t.t-i(2 < I < n - 1)

b»,n = 1.

The values in the Table were checked numerically by the distinct relations

(5)_ in - l)bn,i = -»(« - l)bn^,i.

The formulae of equation (4) can be verified by induction based on the actual

formal construction of successive derivatives of exp (—t/T) [1]. After these rela-

tions have been established they can be used with a simple induction argument to

establish the correctness of explicit formulae which are convenient for other pur-

poses, albeit not for calculations

(6) *-•=-prnn-•The roots were located by the method of false position [2], which depends upon

evaluation of the polynomials for successive approximations to the roots. The evalu-

ations were computed by synthetic division using double precision arithmetic on

the ORDVAC computer at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. The polynomials were

calculated in one of three forms as described in the legend to Table II. This was

necessary since the original form of the polynomial was relatively insensitive to

changes in approximations for certain roots; that is, the remainder was too small

compared with the largest term in the synthetic division schema. When this oc-

curred, one of the other forms of the polynomial was used in order to define the root

more accurately.

The error estimates of Table II were based upon locating the root between two

approximate values which gave remainders of opposite sign. Although this method

of locating roots is inherently self-checking, a further numerical test was made by

computing the symmetric function summations of Table III.
