pub fn hermite_function_n<P, E, V, const N: usize, const EXACT_FMA: bool>(
x: V,
) -> VExpand description
The orthonormal Hermite function $\psi_N(x) = (2^N N! \sqrt{\pi})^{-1/2} e^{-x^2/2} H_N(x)$.
Three-term recurrence on the functions themselves,
psi_{k+1} = sqrt(2/(k+1)) x psi_k - sqrt(k/(k+1)) psi_{k-1}which keeps every intermediate O(1): the polynomial’s growth and the Gaussian’s decay
cancel inside each step instead of being formed separately and multiplied. Both
square roots are literals under the unrolled loop, so the per-step cost is one FMA on
the critical path plus one multiply beside it. See [seed] for the range and the
precision of the Gaussian factor.
