OBJECTIVES AND GUIDELINES
Topics include the areas
of research influenced by
Dick Askey
- among them
- Classical Orthogonal Polynomials
Askey-Wilson polynomials and their special and/or limiting
cases
- Biorthogonal Rational Functions
including elliptic biorthogonal rational functions
- Integral Transforms and Inversion
Problems including q-Fourier transforms, Askey-Wilson
function transform, inverses of the Askey-Wilson operators and
q -harmonic oscillators
- q-Fourier Series
- Quantum Groups and Mathematical
Physics
- Leonard's Pairs
and others.
See G.Gasper, M.E.H.Ismail, T.Koornwinder, P.Nevai, and D.Stanton,
The mathematical contributions of Richard Askey, in q-Series
from a Contemporary Perspective , M.E.H. Ismail, D.R. Stanton,
eds., Contemporary Mathematics, Vol. 254, Amer. Math. Soc., 2000,
pp. 1-18 for a review of Askey's mathematical contributions.
This meeting will have an international character and will include all
"generations'' of Askey's mathematical family - from
young researchers and graduate students to the world top
leaders in the field of special functions and their applications.
About 30 participants are invited to present 30 min talk. In addition,
the program will give the participants a possibility
to work together on ongoing research projects. Due to the
space limitation and limiting funding participation is by the
invitation from the organizers only.
