Subject: Protaras Conference
The International Conference "Fourier and Complex Analysis: Classical
Problems - Current View" to be held in Protaras, Cyprus, May 6-11, 2006,
was announced in OP-SF NET 12.4, Topic #1. This announcement contains
additional information as well as the URL site of the conference for
online registration.
We ask the colleagues who want to give a presentation talk to register
as soon as possible, since the number of slots is limited. There will be
2 conference dinners, on the 7th and 10th of May. If somebody wants to
extend his/her stay, it can be done with the preferential rates we have
obtained.
The online registration for the conference will be opened on 18th
October at the link: http://www.ucy.ac.cy/~cfca/
We kindly ask you to fill up the following two forms:
1) Registration for the conference.
The registration fee is 65 EUR if paid before March 15, 2006 and 75 EUR
if paid after that date. It includes the conference dinners and the
services during coffee breaks and book of abstracts. This 75 EUR can be
paid upon registration at the conference, but not later than the 7th of
May.
2) Hotel booking form in the home page
http://www.ucy.ac.cy/~cfca/Registration/registration.htm
We urge you to reserve rooms as early as possible since we have a
preferential rates of about 28 euro a day (half-board) for a hotel, 50
meters from the seashore. The hotel is a 4* Hotel Apartments, but to get
a sound financial offer we agreed to the change of towels and linen
every second day. The number of rooms is limited, and will be reserved
on a first come-first served basis.
You may find more detailed information regarding registration,
deadlines, registration fee, invited speakers, organizing and scientific
committee, local information etc. at http://www.ucy.ac.cy/~cfca/

Subject: Report on Munich Conference
The International Conference of Difference Equations, Special Functions
and Applications took place July 25-30, 2005 in Munich Germany. The
conference was organized by Bernd Aulbach, Peter Kloeden, Rupert Lasser,
Frank Lasser, and Andreas Ruffing. The conference was dedicated to Bernd
Aulbach who unfortunately and unexpectedly passed away last January. The
conference was a joint meeting of three groups Orthogonal polynomials
and Special Functions (OPSFA), International Society of Difference
Equations (ISDE) and Symmetries and Integrability of Difference
Equations (SIDE). There were over three hundred participants and one
hundred and ninety talks.
The hour talks that were of special interest to the OPSFA community were
give by Berezansky (The complex moment problem), Berg (Logarithmic order
and type of entire functions associated with the indeterminate moment
problem), Simon (Zeros of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle),
van Doorn (Orthogonal polynomials and birth-death processes with
killing), Everitt (Fourth-order Bessel-type special functions), Geronimo
(Two variable orthogonal polynomials and factorization), Hayman (Zeros
of a q-Bessel function and some related functions), Ismail (The
Ramanujan continued fractions), Koepf (Computer algebra methods for
orthogonal polynomials), Marcellan (Polynomials orthogonal with respect
to a Sobolev inner product), Noumi (Hypergeometric tau-functions for the
elliptic difference Painleve equation), Ricci (Multi-variable
Gould-Hopper and Laguerre polynomials), Rains (Elliptic analogs of
multivariate beta integrals), Saff (Discretizing Manifolds via minimum
energy points), Simon (Zeros of orthogonal polynomials), Stahl

From: Dan Lozier <lozier@nist.gov>
Subject: Book by Ismail on Classical and Quantum Orthogonal Polynomials
The following information is from the web site
http://www.cambridge.org/
Classical and Quantum Orthogonal Polynomials in One Variable
Mourad E. H. Ismail, University of South Florida
This is first modern treatment of orthogonal polynomials from the
viewpoint of special functions. The coverage is encyclopaedic, including
classical topics such as Jacobi, Hermite, Laguerre, Hahn, Charlier and
Meixner polynomials as well as those (e.g. Askey-Wilson and Al-Salam -
Chihara polynomial systems) discovered over the last 50 years; multiple
orthogonal polynomials are discussed for the first time in book form.
Many modern applications of the subject are dealt with, including birth-
and death- processes, integrable systems, combinatorics, and physical
models. A chapter on open research problems and conjectures is designed
to stimulate further research on the subject. Exercises of varying
degrees of difficulty are included to help the graduate student and the
newcomer. A comprehensive bibliography rounds off the work, which will
be valued as an authoritative reference as well as for graduate
teaching.
Contents:
1. Preliminaries; 2. Orthogonal polynomials; 3. Differential equations;
4. Jacobi polynomials; 5. Some inverse problems; 6. Discrete orthogonal
polynomials; 7. Zeros and inequalities; 8. Polynomials orthogonal on the
unit circle; 9. Linearization, connections and integral representations;

From: J. M. Littleton <littleton@siam.org>
Subject: Call for Nominations - George Polya Prize
The George Polya Prize honors the memory of George Polya and is given in
even-numbered years for notable contributions in two alternating
categories: (1) for a notable application of combinatorial theory; (2)
for a notable contribution in another area of interest to George Polya,
such as approximation theory, complex analysis, number theory,
orthogonal polynomials, probability theory, or mathematical discovery
and learning.
The 2006 award will be given in the second category listed above, a
notable contribution in another area of interest to George Polya. The
award will be presented at the 2006 SIAM Annual Meeting scheduled for
July 10-14, 2006, in Boston, Massachusetts.
Eligibility
There are no restrictions except that the prize is broadly intended to
recognize specific recent work. Strong preference will be given to
selecting one person as the prize winner.
Description of Award
The award will consist of an engraved medal and a $20,000 cash prize.
Travel expenses to the award ceremony will be provided by the prize
fund.
Nominations
A letter of nomination, including a description of achievement(s) should
be sent by December 31, 2005, to:

Topic #10 ---------- OP-SF NET 12.6 ----------- November 15, 2005
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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:

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 NET is a forum of the SIAM Activity Group on
Special Functions and Orthogonal Polynomials.
We disseminate your contributions on anything of interest to the
special functions and orthogonal polynomials community. This
includes announcements of conferences, forthcoming books, new
software, electronic archives, research questions, job openings.
