Future plans:
There are plans to organize a summer school on Orthogonal Polynomials and
Special Functions in Portugal in July 2003. (Contact person: Amilcar
Branquinho). This is in the series Laredo (2000), Inzell (2001) and Leuven
(2002; see Topic #5). The coordinator of the three summer schools is Erik
Koelink (koelink@dutiaw4.twi.tudelft.nl). These summer schools are part of
our Activity Group's scientific program. The scientific committee consists
of Erik Koelink, Rupert Lasser, Amilcar Branquinho, Paco Marcellan and
Walter Van Assche.
Dan Lozier (Topic #2 below) suggests a SIAM-sponsored meeting in Orthogonal
Polynomials and Special Functions to be held in Washington, DC in June
2004.
Topic #1 ------------- OP-SF NET 9.4 ---------------- July 15, 2002
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: Message from the Editor
In this issue we give new or revised information on several conferences. By the
time you read this the major event "Special Functions and the Digital age" will
be underway in Minneapolis. See Topic #8 for more information. In Topic #2, Dan
Lozier brings news of some major initiatives to be undertaken by the Activity
Group.
Sadly, the past few months have brought news of the deaths of two people in the
OPSF community.
Dr. William R. ("Bill") Allaway died in Thunder Bay, Ontario on February 14,
2002. Bill was born in 1940 and got his PhD under the supervision of Waleed
Al-Salam at he University of Alberta in 1972. His thesis work formed the basis
for what came to be called sieved orthogonal polynomials. Bill spent most of his
academic career at Lakehead University.
Dr Harold Exton died in August 2001, aged 73. Exton was a prolific contributor to
our subject with several books and 146 papers mentioned in MathSciNet. Of these
127 papers have primary or secondary MSC classification 33. I am indebted to Tom
Koornwinder for this information.
Topic #2 ------------- OP-SF NET 9.4 ---------------- July 15, 2002
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Daniel Lozier <lozier@nist.gov>
Subject: Message from the Chair
Message from the Chair
In this message I will report on two recent developments that should be
of interest to all members of our activity group.
Possible Establishment of Szego Prize
In a previous message from the chair, I mentioned the idea of
establishing a SIAM OPSF Prize. This idea was discussed last year at
the activity group membership meeting during the OPSFA conference in Rome,
and the name Szego Prize was suggested. The discussion centered around
the idea of a cash prize to be awarded to a young researcher every third
year. The feeling I got at the time was that the members in attendance
were enthusiastically in favor of trying to establish such a prize and to
name it for Gabor Szego.
I brought the subject up with Jim Crowley, Executive Director of SIAM,
at the SIAM Annual Meeting. I had discussed it with him previously but
this was a more in-depth consideration of how it could be established.
It turns out that SIAM's support for prizes is generous. But the
activity group membership also has a financial role to play, if we want
to have a cash award. Specifically, it is our responsibility to raise a
sufficient amount of money, call it an endowment, such that the earnings
from the endowment would cover any cash award for the prize recipient.
The administration of the endowment would be done at SIAM, which relieves
us of any necessity to handle money. As for earnings, SIAM imputes an
investment return from its own investment program that is added into
the endowment. In addition, SIAM will cover the full cost of travel,
lodging, registration and incidental expenses for the recipient to attend
the SIAM Annual Meeting and receive the award.
Prizes, some with and some without cash awards, are presented by
several other SIAM activity groups. The criteria for these prizes can
be seen at http://www.siam.org/prizes/. Our next step, if the membership
wishes to proceed, will be to develop similar criteria for consideration
by the appropriate SIAM governing bodies.
I am assuming the activity group membership wishes its leadership to go
ahead with this plan. If there are dissenting opinions, please let me
know by October 1.
Finally, I expect to form a committee to develop a proposal and
fund-raising strategy. The activity group officers will take the lead
in this work. Voluteers to assist the committee will be very welcome. If
you are interested, please contact me.
Possible SIAM OPSFA Meeting in Washington in 2004
Personally, I would very much like to have a SIAM-sponsored
international conference on OP and SF during my remaining time as Chair
of the activity group. This has never been done in our activity group,
and in fact ours is the only activity group in SIAM that has never had its
own conference. Here again there are real advantages to working with
SIAM. The conference staff at SIAM will handle almost all necessities
such as negotiating with a hotel, advertising and mailing, and
collecting and expending money. Our responsibility is limited, chiefly, to
putting together the scientific program.
Rather than compete with the already existing and very successful OPSFA
series, I would offer to hold a SIAM-sponsored OPSFA conference in 2004
(I am unaware if another institution has already offer to sponsor OPSFA in
2004). This would be in Washington, DC, in June 2004.
There is another interesting opportunity with regard to the proposed
conference. A colleague of mine at NIST, Ron Boisvert, is chair of a
mathematical software working group (WG2.5) that is part of IFIP
(International Federation of Information Processing Societies). His
group holds an annual business meeting which is usually accompanied by an
informal open workshop with 35-50 attendees. WG2.5 has expressed
interest in holding its meeting in Washington in conjunction with the OPSFA
conference, with the theme for its technical program centered on software
for special functions and applications. The mutual interaction might
well be beneficial to both groups.
Ron and I discussed these possible plans with Jim Crowley at the SIAM
meeting. Jim was very supportive. He encouraged us to go ahead and
take the issue to our respective memberships. I hope you will send me
your thoughts, whether for or against or somewhere in between.

Topic #8 ------------- OP-SF NET 9.4 ---------------- July 15, 2002
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: Special Functions in the Digital Age
IMA 2002 Summer Program:
Special Functions in the Digital Age
July 22 - August 2, 2002
Minneapolis, MN, USA
Here is some of the latest information from the web site
http://www.ima.umn.edu/digital-age/
Description:
The IMA workshop will use the DLMF project as a foundation and discuss what
more should be done, what areas are incomplete or unrepresented, what are
the resulting mathematical, symbolic, numerical and web issues,
applications in physics, chemistry, etc., relationships with the Bateman
project, and potential for other digital libraries in other mathematical
areas. The workshop is to have a very broad outlook, encompassing a wide
range of subjects connected with special functions, as well as issues
concerning digital libraries and the delivery of mathematics over the
internet.
A major portion of this program (7 days) will be assessments of research
progress and promising vistas for future research by distinguished experts
in the areas of asymptotics, combinatorial functions, statistics, computer
algebra, algebraic and group theoretic methods, applications to the
physical sciences, orthogonal polynomials, numerical methods, zeta
functions & random matrices, Painlevé functions, elliptic functions,
elliptic hypergeometric functions and the Heun function group, with the aim
of pointing out what is of greatest importance in the theory and
applications, and what should be included in digital library projects.
The remainder of the program (3 days) will be devoted to Digital Libraries
generally and, specifically, Digital Libraries and the Mathematical
Sciences, including the delivery of mathematics over the Internet. It will
conclude with a panel on the "Future of Mathematical Digital Libraries,"
with panelists from the special functions research and users communities,
as well as representatives from mathematics societies and government
funding agencies.
There will be several discussion sessions to develop specific
recommendations for special function topics to be included in future
Digital Libraries in Mathematics. Also there will be poster sessions, and
several software demonstrations (particularly of computer algebra and
numerical packages for special functions), and much of the software will be
available during the program for informal use by participants. This program
will link with special function related sessions at the Foundations of
Computational Mathematics (FoCM'02) meeting that will be hosted by the IMA,
August 5-15, 2002.
The program is meant for researchers in the theory and computation of
special functions (definitely including people new to the field who are
looking for the most promising areas for future research), for users of
special functions, and for persons interested in the delivery of
mathematics over the Internet.

Subject: Obituary: Wolfgang Thron
Wolfgang J. Thron, 1918--2001
Wolfgang Joseph Thron, professor emeritus of mathematics of the University
of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, died at home of emphysema on August 21,
2001, a few days after his 83rd birthday. Thron was very well known for his
work on continued fractions and his book "Continued Fractions, Analytic
Theory and Applications" (with W. B. Jones), which appeared in 1980, is one
of the most valuable books on the subject. Wolf Thron was born on August
17, 1918 in Ribnitz (Germany). In 1936 Thron first was sent to the ETH in
Zurich (Switzerland) and then to Princeton University, where his aunt and
uncle (Herman Weyl) could keep an eye on him and lend him a helping hand if
necessary. After his B.A. degree from Princeton in 1939 he held a teaching
fellowship at Washington State University in Pullman, and a year later he
accepted a teaching fellowship for graduate study at the mathematics
department of Rice University, where he worked under the supervision of
Walter Leighton. Thron's thesis was on parabolic convergence regions for
continued fractions and his results (published in 1942 and 1943)
significantly improved the original parabola theorem of W. T. Scott and H.
S. Wall, which appeared in 1940. During the next six decades Wolfgang Thron
made several important contributions in the convergence theory for
continued fractions. Approximately one third of his publications have been
devoted to continued fractions. A recent look on MathSciNet revealed 142
publications by Wolfgang Thron, and Zentralblatt MATH even gives 153
publications. Thron has at least four publications with more than 50
citations: the paper "Accelerating convergence of limit periodic continued
fractions K(a_n/1)" (Numer. Math. 34 (1980), 155-170) with H. Waadeland,
the well-written survey "Moment theory, orthogonal polynomials, quadrature,
and continued fractions associated with the unit circle" (Bull. London
Math. Soc. 21 (1989), 113-152) with W. B. Jones and O. Njastad, the paper
"A strong Stieltjes moment problem" (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 261 (1980),
503--528) with W. B. Jones and H. Waadeland, and the related "Orthogonal
Laurent polynomials and the strong Hamburger moment problem" (J. Math.
Anal. Appl. 98 (1984), 528--554) with W. B. Jones and O. Njastad, clearly
have been very influential. Thron also has his own continued fraction: the
T-fraction, which is related to two point Pade approximation and Laurent
orthogonal polynomials.
Wolfgang Thron started his long career at the University of Colorado in
Boulder in 1954 filling the vacancy in mathematics when Albert Edrei moved
to Syracuse University. He had 21 Ph.D. students and wrote two books: in
1966 a book on "Topological Structures", and in 1980 the book with Bill
Jones on continued fractions, which was mentioned earlier. Thron spent a
lot of time at foreign universities: in 1957-58 he was at the University of
Munich, close to Oscar Perron, in 1962-63 and in 1974-75 he was at Panjab
University in Chandigarh, India, in 1966-67 he was at Mindanao State
University in the Phillipines, in 1970-71 he was at Erlangen University in
Germany, and in 1978-79, 1982-83 and 1987 he worked at the University of
Trondheim in Norway. There he continued a long and productive collaboration
with Lisa Jacobsen (now Lorentzen), Olav Njastad and Haakon Waadeland.
Thron became Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in 1985. In recognition
of his outstanding work in continued fractions and related topics, an
international conference was held at the University of Colorado in June,
1988 on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The proceedings were published
in the Rocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, volume 21 (1991); included in
these proceedings was a description of Thron's life and work written by his
former student an long time collaborator W. B. Jones ("W. J. Thron on his
70th birthday", Rocky Mountain J. Math. 21 (1991), 7-23), which includes a
list of his Ph.D. students and 116 papers (up to 1990). Most of the
information in the present obituary is taken from this source and from
obituaries that were sent to me by Bill Jones.

Subject: Book on Generalized Associated Legendre Functions
Generalized Associated Legendre Functions and Their Applications.
By N. Virchenko and I. Fedotova.
World Scientific, River Edge, NJ, 2000. $48.00.
xx+195 pp., hardcover. ISBN 981-02-4357-7.
A review by Mourad Ismail appears in SIAM Review, Vol 44, no 2, June 2002,
pp 288-291; see http://epubs.siam.org/sam-bin/dbq/article/97090
Ismail gives a succinct introduction to the functions of the title as
essentially special Jacobi functions and goes on to give a mainly positive review
of the book.
Extract from information from the publisher:
http://www.wspc.com/books/mathematics/4463.html
"The various types of special functions have become essential tools for
scientists and engineers. One of the important classes of special functions
is of the hypergeometric type. It includes all classical hypergeometric
functions such as the well-known Gaussian hypergeometric functions, the
Bessel, Macdonald, Legendre, Whittaker, Kummer, Tricomi and Wright
functions, the generalized hypergeometric functions rFq, Meijer's
G-function, Fox's H-function, etc."
"Application of the new special functions allows one to increase
considerably the number of problems whose solutions are found in a closed
form, to examine these solutions, and to investigate the relationships
between different classes of the special functions."
"This book deals with the theory and applications of generalized associated
Legendre functions of the first and the second kind, P^{m,n}_k(z) and
Q^{m,n}_k(z), which are important representatives of the hypergeometric
functions. They occur as generalizations of classical Legendre functions of
the first and the second kind respectively. The authors use various methods
of contour integration to obtain important properties of the generalized
associated Legendre functions as their series representations, asymptotic
formulas in a neighborhood of singular points, zero properties, connection
with Jacobi functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals and incomplete
beta functions."
"The book also presents the theory of factorization and composition
structure of integral operators associated with the generalized associated
Legendre function, the fractional integro-differential properties of the
functions P^{m,n}_k(z) and Q^{m,n}_k(z), the classes of dual and triple
integral equations associated with the function P^{m,n}_{-1/2+it}(\cosh
\alpha) etc.

Series Associated with the Zeta and Related Functions.
By H. M. Srivastava and Junesang Choi.
Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 2001. $127.00.

A review by Jet Wimp appears in SIAM Review, Vol 44, no 2, June 2002,
pp 305=308; see http://epubs.siam.org/sam-bin/dbq/article/97090
Wimp begins:
"The title of this book doesn't describe its contents. It is really a meditation
on the gamma function and some related functions. Readers may have the feeling of
being transported back in time to find themselves negotiating a minor but scenic
tributary of 19th century mathematics. This is fine with me. ..."
He gives a favourable account of the first two Chapters but has misgivings about
the long third one "Series Involving Zeta Functions". But the review has to be
read completely to be savoured.
The following extracts are form the publishers wed site:
http://www.wkap.nl/prod/b/0-7923-7054-6
"Designed as a reference work and also as a graduate-level textbook, this
volume presents an up-to-date and comprehensive account of the theories and
applications of the various methods and techniques used in dealing with
problems involving closed-form evaluations of (and representations of the
Riemann Zeta function at positive integer arguments as) numerous families
of series associated with the Riemann Zeta function, the Hurwitz Zeta
function, and their extensions and generalizations such as Lerch's
transcendent (or the Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function)."
"Audience: This book is intended for professional mathematicians and
graduate students in mathematical sciences (both pure and applied)."

Topic #16 ------------- OP-SF NET 9.4 ---------------- July 15, 2002
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

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:
