Topic #1  -------------   OP-SF NET 9.3  ----------------  May 15, 2002

From:  Erik Koelink <h.t.koelink@its.tudelft.nl>
Subject: Meeting and book dedicated to Mizan Rahman

The American Mathematical Society has approved a special session on
"Special Functions and q-Series" for the Annual Meeting of the Society to
be held in Baltimore during January 15-18, 2003. This special session is
organised by Mourad E. H. Ismail, University of South Florida.  See
http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2074_intro.html
for more information.

We take the opportunity of having such a session to honour Mizan Rahman and
dedicate the talks to him in recognition of his many contributions to the
subject. The list of confirmed speakers includes, amongst others:  Richard
Askey, George Andrews, Bruce Berndt, George Gasper, Mourad Ismail, Erik
Koelink, Steve Milne, Michael Schlosser, Dennis Stanton, Sergei Suslov, and
of course, Mizan Rahman.

The book
       "Theory and Applications of Special Functions
             A volume dedicated to Mizan Rahman"

will appear in the series "Developments in Mathematics", edited by
Krishnaswami Alladi and a companion series to the Ramanujan Journal. Mourad
E.H. Ismail and Erik Koelink will act as editors for this book dedicated to
Mizan Rahman. Research papers will be refereed with high standards
comparable to those of the Ramanujan Journal, Constructive Approximation or
Journal of Approximation Theory.  We invite contributions to the volume and
those interested please submit the paper no later than 2/2/2003, and send
it to:

   Denise Marks, Department of Mathematics,
   University of South Florida,
   4202 E. Fowler Ave., PHY 114
   Tampa, FL 33620-5700, USA

If you prefer a particular one of the editors to handle your paper, please
indicate your preference at the time of submission.

We hope that both the meeting and the book will reflect Mizan Rahman's
contributions to and influence on mathematics and mathematicians.

Mourad Ismail and Erik Koelink



Topic #2  -------------   OP-SF NET 9.3  ----------------  May 15, 2002
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Nico Temme <Nico.Temme@cwi.nl>
Subject: Book "Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals"

R.B. Paris and D. Kaminski.
Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals -
Cambridge UP, 2001. 422 p. ISBN 0-521-79001-8 hc.
(Encyclopedia of mathematics and its applications v. 85).

This book is a very welcome addition to the presently most interesting
books on asymptotics by Olver [1] and Wong [2].  First an introduction to
asymptotics of integrals is given and then the special features of
Mellin-Barnes integrals are considered.  These integrals have integrands
with rational functions of gamma functions, and arise in the inversion of
Mellin transforms.  Many special functions of hypergeometric type, and
integrals or products of these functions, can be written as such integrals.
Other series and integrals can be transformed into these forms also, as is
done, for example, for the generalised Euler-Jacobi series
$S_p(a)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \exp(-an^p)$, $p>0$ of which the asymptotic
behaviour for $a\downarrow 0$ is studied.

Much attention is paid to topics that gave recently new insights in the
theory of asymptotic expansions, such as the Stokes phenomenon (the sudden
change of certain constants in asymptotic approximations), exponential
asymptotics (the role of exponentially small terms in asymptotic
approximations), and to hyperasymptotics (the expansion of remainders in
asymptotic approximations at an optimal point in the expansion).

Other topics are expansions for the Riemann zeta function on the critical
line, the Pearcey integral (a two-variable generalisation of the classical
Airy function), and applications to number-theoretic examples, solving
differential, difference and integral equations.  There is a chapter on
multiple Mellin-Barnes integrals, with applications to double integrals of
Laplace type (and of higher dimension), with extensive discussion of the
role of the Newton diagram for investigating phase functions with interior,
boundary and exterior critical points.  Biographies of Mellin and Barnes
are also included.

The book should be accessible to readers with a solid undergraduate
background in functions of a single complex variable.  I can highly
recommend this book to anyone interested in asymptotics of integrals or in
asymptotic methods for special functions.

Topic #3  -------------   OP-SF NET 9.3  ----------------  May 15, 2002
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Nico Temme <Nico.Temme@cwi.nl>
Subject: Book "On a class of incomplete gamma functions with applications"

M. Aslam Chaudhry and Syed  M. Zubair.
On a class of incomplete gamma functions with applications -
Boca Raton, FL: Chapman \& Hall/CRC. 2001.
493 p. ISBN 1-58488-143-7/hc.

The book gives a general introduction to functions related to the gamma
function, but the central idea is the generalisation of these functions by
including extra terms or parameters in the standard integral representation
of the functions. The incomplete gamma functions are generalised into the
form $\int_0^x t^{\alpha-1}\exp(-t-b/t)\,dt$, which for $b=0$ is the
standard form, and which for $x=\infty$ is considered as the generalised
gamma function (which in fact becomes a $K-$Bessel function). The beta
integral, the Riemann zeta function and Fresnel integrals are generalised
in a similar way. Many properties and relations are discussed for these new
functions, and a further generalisation of the incomplete gamma function is
introduced by replacing $\exp(-b/t)$ by a $K-$Bessel function. If possible,
relations with generalised hypergeometric functions are given. For example,
the Kamp\'e de F\'eriet function of two variables and the Fox $H-$function
are used for this purpose. Several introductions are motivated by
considering problems from mathematical physics and probability theory
(generalised Gaussian distributions); examples from heat conduction
problems are discussed in several chapters of the book. Many tables of
computed values and graphs of the generalised functions and of quantities
arising in problems from physic are given. In an appendix a table of
Laplace transforms and a number of theorems on integrals dependent on
parameters are included (differentiation, interchanging the order of
integration, and so on).

Without any doubt, the standard special functions can be generalised or
extended in various ways to new classes of functions. A nice point of this
book is that several generalisations considered here play a role in
interesting problems from mathematical physics.
