Subject: Summer school in Inzell, Germany
Summer school in Inzell, Germany (September 17-21, 2001)
The SIAM Activity Group (SIAG) on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions
is
organizing a series of summer schools. The first of this series was in Laredo,
Spain, in 2000. This year we kindly invite you to Inzell, Germany, in the Alps
southeast of Munich. The goal of the Summer School is to give four introductory
courses in advanced research topics on orthogonal polynomials, harmonic
analysis,
approximation and applications. Some free discussions and some informal seminars
will also be available. The expected audience consists of graduate and recent
postgraduate students as well as young active researchers.
There will be four plenary mini-courses.
* H. Dette (Bochum, Germany): Canonical moments, orthogonal polynomials
with applications to statistics
* K. Seip (Trondheim, Norway): On nonharmonic Fourier series: Riesz
bases and frames of complex exponentials
* R. Swarcz (Wroclaw, Poland): Orthogonal polynomials with applications
to Banach algebras
* Y. Xu (Eugene, Oregon, USA): Orthogonal polynomials of several
variables
There will also be special sessions where the participants will have the
opportunity to give some short research seminars, as well as a panel discussion.
Because of the limited numbers of these seminars we kindly ask to participants
who want to present their own results to send us as soon as possible the
abstract. Priority will be given to those talks close to the main subjects of
the
school.

From: Walter Van Assche <Walter.VanAssche@wis.kuleuven.ac.be>
Subject: Report on Lucknow Conference on Special Functions
The following report was received from K. Srinivasa Rao (Convenor) and S. Ahmad
Ali (Secretary).
The second annual conference of the Society for Special Functions and their
Applications (SSFA) was held in the historic city of Lucknow, from February 2 to
4, 2001. The delegates and the participants were housed in the Institute of
Management and Development of the U.P. Government, which was also the venue of
the conference. The inaugural function on Feb. 2 was presided over by Prof. S.
Bhargava (Mysore University), a vice president of the SSFA. Prof. S.K. Joshi --
former Director General of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research,
Government of India and Chairman, Research and Assessment Committee, Defence
Research and Development Organization, Government of India -- was the chief
guest. It was a very special occasion for the Society since it felicitated Prof.
R.P. Agarwal, the Founder and Patron of SSFA, and a dedicated researcher in the
field of special functions, on the occasion of his 76th Birthday. Prof. K.
Srinivasa Rao (Institute of mathematical Sciences, Chennai), in his felicitation
speech, outlined the outstanding contributions of Prof. Agarwal, the awards and
honours conferred on him and emphasised the qualities of his leadership which
resulted in the formation of a dedicated group of research workers in the area
of
special functions and their applications and which led to the formation of the
SSFA. Prof. Joshi and Prof. Bhargava, while felicitating Prof. Agarwal,
stressed
the importance of special functions in mathematics, physics and other applied
disciplines, such as, biological and social sciences. Prof. S. Kanemitsu (Kinki
University, Japan), one of the four foreign invitees to the conference,
delivered
a keynote address on "Higher Mathematics from an elementary point of view."
In this three-day meeting, fifteen invited talks were delivered by experts, --
including one by Prof. M. V. Subbarao (University of Alberta, Canada, read in
absentia by Prof. Bhargava) -- on different aspects of special functions and
their applications. Besides these, thirty-four research contributions were
presented by their authors.
The general meeting of the Society took place during this period and the
conference concluded on Feb. 4 with a valedictory function at which the
following
recommendations were adopted:
- To publish a journal of international quality for research papers, duly
refereed by experts, in the area of special functions and their applications.
- To encourage the starting of local chapters of the society, state-wise,
in places where there are twenty or more members to start with. The aims and
objectives of such chapters are to organize periodically lectures by experts
and to encourage young research workers in the field of special functions.
- To involve applied mathematicians, engineers and other users of
special functions to project their problems, especially those of interest
in the scientific and technological development of the country.
- To further strengthen the relationship of the Society with the Activity Group
on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions of SIAM, in order to mutually
benefit by their experiences for the cause and furtherance of real life problems
facing physicists, applied mathematicians, engineers and other users of special
functions.
Topic #6 -------------- OP-SF NET 8.3 ---------------- May 15, 2001
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Martin Muldoon <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: Arpad Elbert 1939-2001
Arpad Elbert died in Budapest on April 25th, 2001 after a recurrence of the
illness which had plagued him for nearly a year. We were heartened by his
apparent recovery after surgery for a brain tumour last summer but,
unfortunately, the recovery was not to last.
Arpad was born in Kaposvar in southwestern Hungary on December 24, 1939 and
graduated in Mathematics from the Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, in 1963,
being awarded the Medal for Higher Education. The rest of his career was
associated with the Mathematical Institute (founded in 1949 and later
named, after its first Director, the Alfred Renyi Institute) of the Hungarian
Academy of Sciences. Through this Institute he received the Academy's degrees
of
Candidate - equivalent to the North American Ph.D. - (1971) and Doctor of
Mathematical Sciences (1989). He had already been awarded the Grunwald Prize for
young mathematicians who have already done remarkable work before graduation
from
the Academy. His most recent position was that of Scientific Advisor, the
highest
scientific position in the Institute.
Arpad was the author or co-author of about 100 articles, mostly in the areas of
ordinary differential equations and special functions but including also
contributions to delay differential equations, Fourier analysis, approximation
theory and inequalities. In the great division between theory builders and
problems solvers he belonged the latter group and was always ready to help
others
with their mathematical problems. In 1977, John Lewis and I had made the
conjecture that the zeros of the Bessel J_\nu(x) were concave functions of \nu
for \nu > 0. Soon after, Arpad gave an ingenious proof of the concavity on the
entire interval of definition of the zeros in question. He did this using only
classical tools making especially fruitful use of a formula in G. N. Watson's
"Treatise" on the derivative of a zero with respect to \nu. The formula was
well-known but little used previously. Later Arpad (mostly with Andrea Laforgia
and occasionally others) was able to make much further use of this and related
formulas in the study of inequalities, monotonicity properties and convexity
properties of zeros of Bessel and related functions. Whenever I am asked a
question in this or a related area my first reaction is to look at the thirty or
so articles of Elbert and Laforgia. There is a good summary of some of this
work
in the paper based on Elbert's plenary talk at OPSFA-Patras which is to appear
in
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics. Arpad's death makes a big
hole
in the program for the forthcoming OPSFA Symposium in Rome. I hope that the
time allotted to his lecture can be devoted so some tributes to him and his
work.
Arpad was a virtuoso in tough analytic calculations (tools like reversion of
series came to him naturally) with an unerring sense of when an inequality was
sharp and when an approximation might be replaced by an inequality. In joint
work he alternated this role with that of devil's advocate concerning the
conjectures of others. This gave a particular added value to a collaboration
with him. As Arpad became better known he had many collaborators and invitations
to visit institutions and conferences in Italy, Canada, Germany, Greece, the
Czech Republic and Japan among other places. A notable collaboration was that
with Professor T. Kusano (Fukuoka University) on half-linear and other
differential equations.
Arpad will be remembered for his unfailing kindness and courtesy and as a valued
and generaous collaborator. He is survived by his wife Marika and daughter
Judit, now at the beginning of her own mathematical career. A funeral service
will be held at Felsokrisztinavarosi Plebania Urnatemetoje, Budapest XII. ker.
Apor Vilmos ter 9, at 16:00 on June 29, 2001.
I am indebted to Gabor Halasz for his kindness and promptness in supplying me
with some biographical information and to Lee Lorch for some additional
suggestions.
Topic #7 -------------- OP-SF NET 8.3 ---------------- May 15, 2001
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: opsftalk
Three topics were recently raised in opsftalk, the discussion group of our
Activity Group.
(1) Irine Peng asked about a special _3F_2 for which she did not have a
"closed-form" formula, in all cases but which she wanted to show to be
non-zero.
R. Vidunas showed that it is not always non-zero and Victor Adamchik showed how
to write the _3F_2 as a finite sum.
(2) Vadim Kuznetsov (vadim@amsta.leeds.ac.uk) wrote:
I want to ask for opinions about one `strange spectral problem' where, in a
sense, the spectrum is the same as the eigenvalues. Let us call this thing an
`eigen-vector-value-problem'. Technically, one solves the following system of n
equations:
(*) \sum_k A_{ijk} x_k = x_i x_j, i,j,k=1,...,n,
assuming that it is compatible. Compatibility can be rephrased as the
commutativity of the matrices A_{i..} and of the matrices A_{.j.} collected from
the tensor A_{ijk}. Anyway, it is assumed.
HOW TO SOLVE SUCH (QUADRATIC?) PROBLEMS EFFECTIVELY? ON COMPUTER?
Notice that spectrum here is `the same' as eigenvalues, therefore for a given A
we have to find only the vector x.
(*) can be realized as either (inverted) linearization problem or, when
n=infinity and the operator A acts in some functional space, as a product
formula
for a special function.
So, my question can also be changed to the following: How to use product
formulas
for producing effective numerical methods for calculating the special function
itself? After all (*) is a very particular spectral problem and one (maybe) can
use this fact to invent a fast numerical algorithm in order to calculate x.
Notice that x can be out of the hypergeometric class, so that a problem of its
calculation can be very non-trivial task.
(3) A question appearing in sci.math.research on the generalizing (to Jacobi
polynomials) the well-known expression for Chebyshev polynomials involving
sin((n+1)arccos x) led Tom Koornwinder to suggest a sum formula for
Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials in terms of trigonometric functions with
coefficients which can be found from known results in the literature. A similar
result is known for q-ultraspherical polynomials.
Readers are encouraged to subscribe and sent their questions and comments
to opsftalk. See the end of Topic #9 for details.

Topic #9 -------------- OP-SF NET 8.3 ---------------- May 15, 2001
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: 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:
http://math.nist.gov/opsf/
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
poly-request@siam.org.
Back issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses:

The NET provides fast turnaround compared to the printed Newsletter, also
sponsored by the Activity Group, and edited by Renato Alvarez-Nodarse and
Rafael Yanez. It appears three times a year and is mailed by SIAM. Back
issues are accessible at:
