Subject: Report on AMADE-2003


The following information was received from the organizers of the 3rd
International Conference "Analytic Methods of Analysis and Differential
Equations" (AMADE-2003), Minsk, Belarus, September 4-9, 2003


        The 3rd International Conference "Analytic Methods of Analysis
and Differential Equations" (AMADE-2003) took place on September 4-9,
2003 in Minsk, Belarus. It keeps the tradition of the International
Conferences "Boundary Value Problems, Special Functions and Fractional
Calculus", devoted to the 90th birthday of academician F.D.Gakhov
(Minsk, Belarus, February 15-20, 1996), "Analytic Methods of Analysis
and Differential Equations" (AMADE) (Minsk, Belarus, September 14-18,
1999), and (AMADE-2001) (Minsk, Belarus, February 15-19, 2001).
AMADE-2003 was organized by the Belarusian State University together
with the Institute of Mathematics of the Belarusian National Academy of
Sciences. It was held at the Olympic Sport Center "Staiki" which is
situated 10 km from Minsk, the capital of Belarus. The Conference was
organized under the guidance of the International Society for Analysis
its Applications and Computation (ISAAC) and was included in the
calendar of the events of the European Mathematical Society.


Information on the Conference was published in the Journal "Fractional
Calculus and Applied Analysis" and in the Notices of the American
Mathematical Society. The Web-site www.amade-bsu.com containing the
information on AMADE-2003 and its predecessors, was created.


More than 320 mathematicians from Europe, Africa, America and Asia
confirmed their interest in the Conference. 166 representatives of
Algeria, Belarus, Canada, Finland, France, Great Britain, Korea,
Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine,
Uzbekistan, USA and Vietnam took part in AMADE-2003.


Four sections operated at the conference:
1. Integral Transforms and Special Functions.
2. Differential Equations and Applications.
3. Integral, Difference, Functional Equations and Fractional Calculus.
4. Real and Complex Analysis.


There were 23 plenary invited lectures and 116 sectional talks devoted

Topic #6  -----------  OP-SF NET 10.6 ------------ November 15, 2003
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From: Dan Lozier <daniel.lozier@nist.gov>
Subject: Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity at NIST


Dan Lozier is the research adviser for a two-year postdoctoral research
opportunity in Computation of Special Functions at NIST in Gaithersburg,
Maryland. From the research announcement:


"This research opportunity focuses on improving numerical and symbolic
computing support for the classical special functions of mathematical
physics in parallel and other advanced computational settings through
the development of algorithms and mathematical software.


Emphasis in algorithm development is placed on functions of one or more
complex variables. For example, a recurrence relation or differential
equation can sometimes be solved in parallel to form a stable and
effective algorithm in the complex domain. This approach has been
applied successfully to Airy, Bessel, and other functions. The emphasis
in software development is placed on the construction of robust and
highly reliable packages and test procedures. An essential component is
the use of the Internet to provide an interactive capability in the
dissemination of mathematical reference data for special functions. The
further development of these topics will require skills in real and
complex analysis, numerical analysis, classical special functions,
approximation theory, and parallel computing."


The NIST postdoctoral program is administered by the National Research
Council of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington. See
http://www.national-academies.org/rap for a complete description of the
NIST program (follow the link to Participating Programs, and then the
link to NIST). The research announcement quoted above can be found by
clicking on Rap Search (found at the left, not at the top, of the web
page), then entering a keyword search to "special functions".


Important: This opportunity is available only to citizens of the United
States. The deadline for application is February 1, 2004. Dan would be
pleased to talk with anyone who is interested in applying.

Renato Alvarez Nodarse
Polinomios hipergeometricos y q-polinomios.
Monografias del Seminario Matematico Garcia de Galdeano. Volume 26
Zaragoza. 2003. 343 pages. (In Spanish)
ISBN 84-7733-637-7.


Contents
Chapter 1. A historical introduction.
Chapter 2. General properties of orthogonal polynomials
Chapter 3. Classical orthogonal polynomials
Chapter 4. Discrete orthogonal polynomials.
Chapter 5. Hypergeometric polynomials in non uniform lattices.
Chapter 6. q-polynomials in the lattice x(s)=c_1 q^s + c_3.
Chapter 7. Distribution of zeros for q-polynomials
Chapter 8. Some applications: Harmonic oscillator. Linearization and
       Connection Problems. Group representations.


This monograph is based on a updated presentation of the PhD thesis by
R.  Alvarez Nodarse and constitutes a personal approach to the study of
orthogonal polynomials from a constructive point of view. A comparison
between the q-tableaux by Hahn, Askey and Nikiforv-Uvarov, respectively,
is presented. The different characterizations of "classical" orthogonal
polynomials in the uniform lattice and non uniform lattices are given.
The asymptotic distribution of zeros of orthogonal polynomials for the
geometric (exponential) lattice is carefully studied. Some applications
in Quantum Mechanics, showing the powerful theory of orthogonal
polynomials, are explained.


An useful set of tables containing the parameters associated with the
different expressions which characterize classical orthogonal
polynomials (three term recurrence relation, structure relation, Pearson
equation) are included. Finally, an updated list of references (250)
is given. Unfortunately, this monograph is written in Spanish but it is
a nice reference for those interested in the theory of orthogonal
polynomials. With this book and as an complementary exercise they can
also try to learn the language of Cervantes, Almodovar, and Rey Pastor.

Topic #12  -----------  OP-SF NET 10.6 ------------ November 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.


Back issues can be obtained at the WWW addresses:
  http://staff.science.uva.nl/~thk/opsfnet
  http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/JAT/DATA/OPSFNET/opsfnet.html
  http://math.nist.gov/opsfnet/archive


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:

OP-SF Talk.  To subscribe, send the email message
