Topic #4 --------- OP-SF NET 11.5 ---------- September 15, 2004
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: Davis Group on Hecke Algebras and Orthogonal Polynomials
The following information on the Research Focus Group in "Hecke Algebras
and Orthogonal Polynomials" at the University of California, Davis is
taken from their web site at
http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~vazirani/RFG/rfg.html
[From the "research" link:]
Both Hecke algebras and orthogonal polynomials are a rich source of
combinatorics. Furthermore, the relationship between the two topics is
deep and interesting and has led to exciting results in current
research.
Orthogonal polynomials and special functions have applications to many
areas, such as quantum integrable systems, harmonic analysis of simple
Lie groups,
The general theme of the RFG is to introduce students to areas of
research
available in the department, such as orthogonal polynomials, elliptic
hypergeometric functions, symmetric functions, Coxeter groups,
combinatorics, the representation theory of Hecke algebras,
Kazhdan-Lusztig theory, crystal base theory, and applications in
physics.
One quarter will be spent studying Hecke algebras, another studying
orthogonal polynomials, and another developing the connections between
the two topics. While some connections will be pointed out along the
way, students and faculty could easily participate in the second
quarter's activities without having been involved in those of the first
quarter.
In the reading seminar we expect active participation by students who
will take turns to present chapters of the books or articles of common
interest. In addition we expect the students with combinatorial
interest to participate in the Bay Area Discrete Math day in October of
2004 and March 2005.
Suggested books and papers include:
Macdonald "Symmetric functions and orthogonal polynomials,"
Szego "Orthogonal Polynomials,"
Andrews, Askey, Roy "Special functions,"
Koornwinder "Askey-Wilson polynomials for root systems of type BC,"
pp. 189-204 in Contemp. Math., 138, Amer. Math. Soc.
Kirillov "Lectures on affine Hecke algebras and Macdonald's
conjectures,"
Kazhdan and Lusztig, "Representations of Coxeter groups and Hecke
algebras."
Topic #5 --------- OP-SF NET 11.5 ---------- September 15, 2004
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: New book by Gautschi on Orthogonal Polynomials
The following is from web sites linked to
http://www.us.oup.com/
Orthogonal Polynomials: Computation and Approximation
Walter Gautschi
ISBN: 0198506724, hardback, 312 pages
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Series: Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computation
Description
This is the first book on constructive methods for, and applications of
orthogonal polynomials, and the first available collection of relevant
Matlab codes. The book begins with a concise introduction to the theory
of polynomials orthogonal on the real line (or a portion thereof),
relative to a positive measure of integration. Topics which are
particularly relevant to computation are emphasized. The second chapter
develops computational methods for generating the coefficients in the
basic three-term recurrence relation. The methods are of two kinds:
moment-based methods and discretization methods. The former are provided
with a detailed sensitivity analysis. Other topics addressed concern
Cauchy integrals of orthogonal polynomials and their computation, a new
discussion of modification algorithms, and the generation of Sobolev
orthogonal polynomials. The final chapter deals with selected
applications: the numerical evaluation of integrals, especially by
Gauss-type quadrature methods, polynomial least squares approximation,
moment-preserving spline approximation, and the summation of slowly
convergent series. Detailed historic and bibliographic notes are
appended to each chapter. The book will be of interest not only to
mathematicians and numerical analysts, but also to a wide clientele of
scientists and engineers who perceive a need for applying orthogonal
polynomials.

Topic #11 --------- OP-SF NET 11.5 ---------- September 15, 2004
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

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 on SIAM and Activity Group membership, contact:
