Abstract

By applying well-known techniques such as the Gershgorin Circle Theorem and the Euler-Rayleigh method (the latter assisted by some computer algebra), we obtain new bounds for the extreme zeroes of the n-th Laguerre polynomial. It turns out that these bounds are competitive to some of the known best bounds.
