Future plans:
* There are plans to organize summer schools on "Orthogonal Polynomials and
Special Functions" in Europe during the coming three years:
- 2001 (probably September): in Germany (contact person: Rupert Lasser
<lasser@gsf.de>)
- 2002 : in the Netherlands or Belgium (contact person: Erik Koelink
<koelink@twi.tudelft.nl>).
- 2003 (time undecided): in Portugal (contact person: Amilcar
Branquinho).
The coordinator of the three summer schools is Erik Koelink
(koelink@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.

Subject: Amsterdam Special Functions conference postponed to 2003
As mentioned in OP-SF NET 6.5, Topic #7, the next meeting in the series
Fields-Toronto (1995) - CRM-Montreal (1996) - Mount Holyoke (1998) - Hong Kong
(1999) - Arizona (2000) was expected to be held in Amsterdam in 2002, to be
organized by Nico Temme, Erik Koelink and me. Howver, some weeks ago the
organizers became aware of the IMA 2002 Summer Program "Special Functions in the
Digital Age" to be held from July 22 - August 2, 2002 at IMA, Minneapolis, MN,
USA with Willard Miller chairing and Dan Lozier serving on the organizing
committee. The themes of this meeting will have much overlap with those of our
tentative meeting, while plans for the IMA meeting have already progressed much
more. Moreover, this meeting will be followed by a Foundations of Computational
Mathematics meeting at the IMA, August 5-15, 2002 (see
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/na/FoCM/Conferences.html). A session on special
functions of considerable size is planned during this meeting. Therefore we have
decided to postpone the Amsterdam conference to the summer of 2003.
A Summer School on "Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions" was planned
during the week before or after the SF2002 conference in Amsterdam, to be held in
the Netherlands and Belgium. This School will definitely take place in 2002, as
the main organizer Erik Koelink will announce separately.

Subject: Report on Laredo Summer School
>From July 24th to 28th 2000, Renato Alvarez-Nodarse, Francisco Marcellan, Walter
Van Assche and Rafael Yanez organized the first SIAG OP-SF Summer School 2000 on
Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions in Laredo, Spain. The program
consisted of five courses of four hours each, together with two afternoons of
short presentations in which the participants could report on their research. In
total there were about 55 participants, of which the majority (about 34) came
from Spain.
The central theme of the courses was the theory of orthogonal polynomials. Each
course had its own characteristic approach to the subject. The combination of
courses gave a very nice impression of the various modern aspects and interests
in this broad research field. Antonio Duran gave a nice introductory course on
matrix orthogonal polynomials, in which he explained the extension of various
important properties of scalar orthogonal polynomials to the setting of matrix
orthogonal polynomials. Ken McLaughlin gave a very stimulating lecture series, in
which he explained the connections between Riemann-Hilbert problems and
asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials. Jurgen Prestin lectured on polynomial
wavelets, in which orthogonal polynomials are used to construct and study
wavelets in polynomial spaces. Erik Koelink gave a course on the spectral
analytic approach to the theory of special functions, emphasizing the nice
applications to indeterminate moment problems, as well as applications to special
functions associated with doubly infinite Jacobi matrices. Finally, Jasper
Stokman's course gave an introduction to the theory of multivariable orthogonal
polynomials, emphasizing both the connection with the theory of one-variable
orthogonal polynomials and the representation theory of affine Hecke algebras.
The courses of the two undersigned were accompanied by detailed lecture notes.
The sheets and the lecturer's personal notes for the courses of Antonio Duran and
Ken McLaughlin were handed out to the participants. More extensive notes of all
the courses will appear soon in a book to be published by Nova Science
Publishers.
The summer school was held in Laredo, a very pleasant village on the Atlantic
coast between Santander and Bilbao. The climate was amazingly moderate for the
time of the year, with daily temperatures around 22 degrees centigrade, and about
four hours sunshine each day: perfect for a summer-school! Hotel Cosmopol, where
the lecturers and most of the applicants stayed, was excellent.
The pleasant surroundings soon led to various off-schedule activities by the
participants, as well as the organizers and lecturers. To name a few: Francisco
Marcellan and Renato Alvarez-Nodarse organized a group who went jogging on the
beach daily. Your reporters joined the group at a certain point, despite the fact
that their ``running-days'' have been over for quite some time. The runs were
tough, but very pleasant, and soon we decided to keep on jogging back home, even
to participate in organized runs in Holland! But back in everyday reality, and
especially without the inspiring presence of Paco Marcellan, our good intentions
have disappeared into thin air.
The rumour reached us that some participants found a completely different kind of
off-schedule activity: bars and dancing-clubs stayed open throughout the night,
and it seemed that some participants enjoyed night-life until sun-rise...--in
contrast to the present writers, who regularly entered an almost completely
deserted bar with extremely loud music in the evening to play pool, but returned
to the hotel before the serious night activities started!
We enjoyed this well-organized summer school very much. The organizers did an
excellent job, which led to a pleasant atmosphere and a good and well-balanced
series of lectures. We sincerely hope that the participants also feel that the
summer school has been worthwhile, mathematically as well as socially! Let's hope
that the next OPSF summer school in Germany will be as successful!

Subject: New book on Fourier Series in Orthogonal Polynomials
FOURIER SERIES IN ORTHOGONAL POLYNOMIALS
by Boris Osilenker (Moscow State Civil Engineering University)
World Scientific, 1999
>From the web site:
http://www.wspc.com.sg/books/mathematics/4039.htm
This book presents a systematic course on general orthogonal polynomials and
Fourier series in orthogonal polynomials. It consists of six chapters. Chapter 1
deals in essence with standard results from the university course on the function
theory of a real variable and on functional analysis. Chapter 2 contains the
classical results about the orthogonal polynomials (some properties, classical
Jacobi polynomials and the criteria of boundedness).
The main subject of the book is Fourier series in general orthogonal polynomials.
Chapters 3 and 4 are devoted to some results in this topic (classical results
about convergence and summability of Fourier series in L2m; summability almost
everywhere by the Cesaro means and the Poisson-Abel method for Fourier polynomial
series are the subject of Chapters 4 and 5).
The last chapter contains some estimates regarding the generalized shift operator
and the generalized product formula, associated with general orthogonal
polynomials.
The starting point of the technique in Chapters 4 and 5 is the representations of
bilinear and trilinear forms obtained by the author. The results obtained in
these two chapters are new ones.
Chapters 2 and 3 (and part of Chapter 1) will be useful to postgraduate students,
and one can choose them for treatment.
This book is intended for researchers (mathematicians, mechanicians and
physicists) whose work involves function theory, functional analysis, harmonic
analysis and approximation theory.
Contents:
Orthogonal Polynomials and Their Properties
Convergence and Summability of Fourier Series in L^2_\mu
Fourier Orthogonal Series in L^r_\mu (1 < r < \infty) and C
Fourier Polynomial Series in L^1_\mu. Analogs of Fatou Theorems
The Representations of the Trilinear Kernels. Generalized
Translation Operator in Orthogonal Polynomials
Readership: Researchers in mathematics, mechanics and physics involved in
function theory, functional analysis, harmonic analysis and approximation
theory.

Title: Elliptic Polynomials
Authors: Lomont; J S University of Arizona, USA

No. of Pages: 320
Publication date: 8/31/2000
Description
A remarkable interplay exists between the fields of elliptic functions and
orthogonal polynomials. In the first monograph to explore their connections,
Elliptic Polynomials combines these two areas of study, leading to an interesting
development of some basic aspects of each. It presents new material about various
classes of polynomials and about the odd Jacobi elliptic functions and their
inverses.
The term elliptic polynomials refers to the polynomials generated by odd elliptic
integrals and elliptic functions. In studying these, the authors consider such
things as orthogonality and the construction of weight functions and measures,
finding structure constants and interesting inequalities, and deriving useful
formulas and evaluations.
Although some of the material may be familiar, it establishes a new mathematical
field that intersects with classical subjects at many points. Its wealth of
information on important properties of polynomials and clear, accessible
presentation make Elliptic Polynomials valuable to those in real and complex
analysis, number theory, and combinatorics, and will undoubtedly generate further
research.
