Topic #1 ------------ OP-SF NET 10.3 ------------- May 15,
2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: OP-SF NET Editor <muldoon@yorku.ca>
Subject: Alan Schwartz
Earlier this year, William Connett <connett@arch.cs.umsl.edu>
circulated
the following message:
"Friends:
I wanted to let you know that Alan Schwartz died on
January 2, after a long and painful illness. As many of you know
this illness caused him to retire from the university early last
year, and he moved to Washington D.C. to be near his children and
grandchildren. He had been ill for so long that I had begun to
feel this was the normal state of affairs, and was surprised by
the sudden end. Given the increasing difficulties of his life,
though, I guess that the quick end is better than the
alternatives. He was a good mathematician, and a great friend, I
will miss him very much.
Wm. Connett"
We hope that it will be possible to publish a longer notice on
Alan
Schwartz in a future issue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Pete McCoy <pam@usna.edu>
Subject: Special Session on Classical and Nonlinear Special
Functions
The SIAM Activity Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special
Functions
will be co-hosting a joint AMS-SIAM Special Session on
"Classical and Nonlinear Special Functions and their Applications"
to be held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings, Phoenix, Arizona,
during
the period January 7-10, 2004. The session will be organized by
Peter A.
Clarkson (University of Kent), Francisco Marcellan (Universidad
Carlos
III) and Pete McCoy (U.S. Naval Academy)
Abstract:
The theme of this session is special functions, including both
classical
special functions, the Painleve equations, and applications of
these
functions.
Special functions provide important analytical tools in the
physical sciences, engineering and statistics as well as in pure
and applied mathematics. They also play a role in mathematical
modeling and simulation. A large project to create a new handbook
and Web site, sponsored by NIST and NSF, has focused attention on
the mathematical properties of these functions. As a result, the
functions and their properties have been organized, and some
research questions have been exposed. Some of the talks in this
session are related to the NIST/NSF project, while others are
devoted to representative applications of special functions and to
recent work in nonlinear special functions, especially the
Painleve transcendents.
The Painleve equations are six second order, nonlinear ordinary
differential equations which have arisen in a variety of physical
applications and also as symmetry reductions of soliton equations.
They
may be thought of as nonlinear special functions. Further the
Painleve
equations arise in a wide variety of important applications
including
asymptotics of nonlinear evolution equations, statistical
mechanics,
plasma physics, nonlinear waves, G\"ortler vortices in boundary
layers,
Hele-Shaw problems, polyelectrolytes and electrolysis,
Bose-Einstein
condensation, quantum gravity and quantum field theory, general
relativity, nonlinear optics and fibre optics as well as links to
other
areas of Mathematics including combinatorics, orthogonal
polynomials,
random matrices and special functions.
The program complete program of speakers will follow in a later
issue
of OP-SF NET.
Information on the Joint Meetings is available at:
http://www.ams.org/amsmtgs/2078_intro.html
Editor's Note: The Program for the Joint Meetings also includes a
Special Session "Theory and Applications of Orthogonal
Polynomials" to
be organized by Mourad Ismail and Barry Simon.

Topic #6 ------------ OP-SF NET 10.3 ------------- May 15,
2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Tom Koornwinder <thk@science.uva.nl>
Subject: CAOP moved
CAOP is a package for calculating formulas by Maple for orthogonal
polynomials belonging to the Askey scheme. It was developed by
Rene
Swarttouw and it is currently maintained by Tom Koornwinder, in
collaboration with Wolfram Koepf and Rene Swarttouw, and with
technical
assistance by Andre Heck. See OP-SF NET 8.6 #14 for the previous
message
about CAOP.
The address of the web page of CAOP has recently changed. It
can now be reached on
http://amstel.science.uva.nl:7090/CAOP/
Topic #7 ------------ OP-SF NET 10.3 ------------- May 15,
2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Tom Koornwinder <thk@science.uva.nl>
Subject: Small gaps between prime numbers
Recently the announcement by Dan Goldston and Cem Yildirim about a
dramatic improvement of estimates of small gaps between successive
prime
numbers created a lot of excitement. By the way, a technical
difficulty
in the proof has been discovered which for now remains unresolved,
see
http://aimath.org/primegaps/
For readers of OP-SF NET it may be of interest that the original
technical description of the result on
http://aimath.org/primegaps/goldston_tech/
mentions the use of Laguerre polynomials in the proof:
Goldston's and Yildirim's approach begins with the methods of
Hardy-Littlewood and Bombieri-Davenport. They have discovered an
extraordinary way to approximate, on average, sums over prime
$k$-tuples. We believe, after work of Gallagher using the
Hardy-Littlewood conjectures for the distribution of prime
$k$-tuples,
that the prime numbers in a short interval $[N, N+\lambda\log N]$
are
distributed like a Poisson random variable with parameter
$\lambda$.
Goldston and Yildirim exploit this model in choosing
approximations.
They ultimately use the theory of orthogonal polynomials to
express the
optimal approximation in terms of the classical Laguerre
polynomials.
Hardy and Littlewood could have proven this theorem under the
assumption
of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis; the Bombieri-Vinogradov
theorem
allows for the unconditional treatment.

Published in March 2003:
I.G. Macdonald,
Affine Hecke algebras and orthogonal polynomials,
Cambridge University Press, 2003,
186 pp., ISBN 0521824729, 35.00 pounds.
From
http://titles.cambridge.org/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521824729
we quote:
Contents:
Introduction; 1. Affine root systems; 2. The extended affine Weyl
group; 3. The braid group; 4. The affine Hecke algebra; 5.
Orthogonal
polynomials; 6. The rank 1 case; Bibliography; Index.
In recent years there has developed a satisfactory and coherent
theory
of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, attached to root
systems, and depending on two or more parameters. These
polynomials
include as special cases: symmetric functions; zonal spherical
functions
on real and p-adic reductive Lie groups; the Jacobi polynomials of
Heckman and Opdam; and the Askey-Wilson polynomials, which
themselves
include as special or limiting cases all the classical families of
orthogonal polynomials in one variable. This first comprehensive
and
organised account of the subject aims to provide a unified
foundation
for this theory, to which the author has been a principal
contributor.
It is an essentially self-contained treatment, accessible to
graduate
students familiar with root systems and Weyl groups. The first
four
chapters are preparatory to Chapter V, which is the heart of the
book
and contains all the main results in full generality.

Subject: New Book on Basic Fourier Series
The following is from the web site:

An Introduction to Basic Fourier Series
by
Sergei K. Suslov
Arizona State University
Kluwer Academic Publishers
DORDRECHT / BOSTON / LONDON
DEVELOPMENTS IN MATHEMATICS, VOL. 9
ISBN 1-4020-1221-7
Dedicated to Dick Askey on his 70th birthday
This is an introductory volume on a novel theory of basic Fourier
series, a new interesting research area in classical analysis and
q-series. This research utilizes approximation theory, orthogonal
polynomials, analytic functions, and numerical methods to study
the
branch of q-special functions dealing with basic analogs of
Fourier
series and their applications. The present theory has interesting
applications and connections to general orthogonal basic
hypergeometric
functions, a q-analog of zeta function, and, possibly, quantum
groups
and mathematical physics.
Audience: Researchers and graduate students interested in recent
developments in q-special functions and their applications.

Topic #11 ------------ OP-SF NET 10.3 ------------- May 15,
2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 Rafael Yanez.
It
appears three times a year and is mailed by SIAM. Back issues are
accessible at:
http://www.mathematik.uni-kassel.de/~koepf/siam.html
To receive the Newsletter, you must be a member of SIAM and of the
Activity Group. SIAM has several categories of membership,
including
low-cost categories for students and residents of developing
countries.
