Abstract
Based on the analysis of the boundary value problem of Laguerre equation, this paper studies the similar structure of its solution expression. This paper is found that its solution can be obtained by combining similar kernel function with coefficients of left boundary condition. While the similar kernel function is constructed by both the function of guide solution and coefficients of right boundary condition. Hence, we proposed a method for solving this class of boundary value problems: the similar constructing method.

1. Introduction
As is known to all, we often involve solving differential equations in practical problems. Studying the inherent law of the solutions to differential equations plays a crucial role for simplifying the solving process. Then, can the form of the solutions( the solutions belong to the various differential equations in the same boundary value problem) be represented by using a uniform formula? Since 2004, the definite answer has been made in many relevant reports. At the same time, the solutions of some second-order homogeneous linear ordinary differential equations [1-9][1], the solutions of some second-order homogeneous linear partial differential equations [10, 11], and the solutions of the seepage equations in some reservoir engineering [12, 13, 14] were studied, with gradually forming the similar constructing theory and similar constructing method of the solutions that belong to differential equations.
Laguerre equation has some comprehensive applications in several research areas, such as physics and engineering. Based on the above study, this paper will study a class of boundary value problem (BVP)of the Laguerre equation as follows:
