Protaras Conference
The
International Conference "Fourier and Complex Analysis: Classical
Problems
- Current View" to be held in Protaras, Cyprus, May 6-11, 2006,
was
announced in OP-SF NET 12.4, Topic #1. This announcement contains
additional
information as well as the URL site of the conference for
online
registration.
We ask
the colleagues who want to give a presentation talk to register
as soon
as possible, since the number of slots is limited. There will be
2
conference dinners, on the 7th and 10th of May. If somebody wants to
extend
his/her stay, it can be done with the preferential rates we have
obtained.
The
online registration for the conference will be opened on 18th
October
at the link: http://www.ucy.ac.cy/~cfca/
We
kindly ask you to fill up the following two forms:
1) Registration
for the conference.
The
registration fee is 65 EUR if paid before March 15, 2006 and 75 EUR
if paid
after that date. It includes the conference dinners and the
services
during coffee breaks and book of abstracts. This 75 EUR can be
paid
upon registration at the conference, but not later than the 7th of
May.
2)
Hotel booking form in the home page
http://www.ucy.ac.cy/~cfca/Registration/registration.htm
We urge
you to reserve rooms as early as possible since we have a
preferential
rates of about 28 euro a day (half-board) for a hotel, 50
meters
from the seashore. The hotel is a 4* Hotel Apartments, but to get
a sound
financial offer we agreed to the change of towels and linen
every
second day. The number of rooms is limited, and will be reserved
on a
first come-first served basis.
You may
find more detailed information regarding registration,
deadlines,
registration fee, invited speakers, organizing and scientific
committee,

Report on Munich Conference
The
International Conference of Difference Equations, Special Functions
and
Applications took place July 25-30, 2005 in Munich Germany. The
conference
was organized by Bernd Aulbach, Peter Kloeden, Rupert Lasser,
Frank
Lasser, and Andreas Ruffing. The conference was dedicated to Bernd
Aulbach
who unfortunately and unexpectedly passed away last January. The
conference
was a joint meeting of three groups Orthogonal polynomials
and
Special Functions (OPSFA), International Society of Difference
Equations
(ISDE) and Symmetries and Integrability of Difference
Equations
(SIDE). There were over three hundred participants and one
hundred
and ninety talks.
The
hour talks that were of special interest to the OPSFA community were
give by
Berezansky (The complex moment problem), Berg (Logarithmic order
and
type of entire functions associated with the indeterminate moment
problem),
Simon (Zeros of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle),
van
Doorn (Orthogonal polynomials and birth-death processes with
killing),
Everitt (Fourth-order Bessel-type special functions), Geronimo
(Two
variable orthogonal polynomials and factorization), Hayman (Zeros
of a
q-Bessel function and some related functions), Ismail (The
Ramanujan
continued fractions), Koepf (Computer algebra methods for
orthogonal
polynomials), Marcellan (Polynomials orthogonal with respect
to a
Sobolev inner product), Noumi (Hypergeometric tau-functions for the
elliptic
difference Painleve equation), Ricci (Multi-variable
Gould-Hopper
and Laguerre polynomials), Rains (Elliptic analogs of
multivariate
beta integrals), Saff (Discretizing Manifolds via minimum
energy
points), Simon (Zeros of orthogonal polynomials), Stahl
(Orthogonal
polynomials, Pade Approximants, and sets of minimal
capacity),
Valent (Heun functions verses elliptic functions), Van Assche
(Orthogonal
polynomials recurrence relations and difference equations),

There
will be a conference proceedings.

Book by Ismail on Classical and Quantum Orthogonal Polynomials
The
following information is from the web site
Classical
and Quantum Orthogonal Polynomials in One Variable
Mourad
E. H. Ismail, University of South Florida
This is
first modern treatment of orthogonal polynomials from the
viewpoint
of special functions. The coverage is encyclopaedic, including
classical
topics such as Jacobi, Hermite, Laguerre, Hahn, Charlier and
Meixner
polynomials as well as those (e.g. Askey-Wilson and Al-Salam -
Chihara
polynomial systems) discovered over the last 50 years; multiple
orthogonal
polynomials are discussed for the first time in book form.
Many
modern applications of the subject are dealt with, including birth-
and
death- processes, integrable systems, combinatorics, and physical
models.
A chapter on open research problems and conjectures is designed
to
stimulate further research on the subject. Exercises of varying
degrees
of difficulty are included to help the graduate student and the
newcomer.
A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the work, which will
be
valued as an authoritative reference as well as for graduate
teaching.

Call for Nominations - George Polya Prize
The
George Polya Prize honors the memory of George Polya and is given in
even-numbered
years for notable contributions in two alternating
categories:
(1) for a notable application of combinatorial theory; (2)
for a
notable contribution in another area of interest to George Polya,
such as
approximation theory, complex analysis, number theory,
orthogonal
polynomials, probability theory, or mathematical discovery
and
learning.
The
2006 award will be given in the second category listed above, a
notable
contribution in another area of interest to George Polya. The
award
will be presented at the 2006 SIAM Annual Meeting scheduled for
July
10-14, 2006, in Boston, Massachusetts.
Eligibility
There
are no restrictions except that the prize is broadly intended to
recognize
specific recent work. Strong preference
will be given to
selecting
one person as the prize winner.
Description
of Award
The
award will consist of an engraved medal and a $20,000 cash prize.
Travel
expenses to the award ceremony will be provided by the prize
fund.
Nominations
A
letter of nomination, including a description of achievement(s) should

About the Activity Group
The
SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions
consists
of a broad set of mathematicians, both pure and applied. The
Group
also includes engineers and scientists, students as well as
experts.
We have around 140 members scattered about in more than 20
countries.
Whatever your specialty might be, we welcome your
participation
in this classical, and yet modern, topic.
Our WWW home
page
is:
This is
a convenient point of entry to all the services provided by the
Group. Our Webmaster is Bonita Saunders (bonita.saunders@nist.gov ).
The
Activity Group sponsors OP-SF NET, which is transmitted
periodically
by SIAM. It is provided as a free
public service;
membership
in SIAM is not required. The OP-SF Net
Editor is Martin
Muldoon
(muldoon@yorku.ca ).
To
receive the OP-SF NET, send your name and email address to
Back
issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses:
http://staff.science.uva.nl/~thk/opsfnet
http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/JAT/DATA/OPSFNET/opsfnet.html
http://math.nist.gov/opsfnet/archive
For
several years the Activity Group sponsored a printed Newsletter,
most
recently edited by Rafael Yanez. Back issues are accessible at:
http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html
Given
the widespread availability of email and the Internet, the need for
the
printed Newsletter has decreased. Discussions are underway concerning
whether
an annual printed Newsletter or Annual Report should be
instituted.
SIAM
has several categories of membership, including low-cost categories
for
students and residents of developing countries. For current
information

OP-SF NET is a forum of the SIAM Activity
Group on
Special Functions and Orthogonal
Polynomials.
We disseminate your contributions on
anything of interest to the
special functions and orthogonal
polynomials community. This
includes announcements of conferences,
forthcoming books, new
software, electronic archives, research
questions, job openings.
