Davis Group on Hecke Algebras and Orthogonal Polynomials
The
following information on the Research Focus Group in "Hecke Algebras
and
Orthogonal Polynomials" at the University of California, Davis is
taken
from their web site at
http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~vazirani/RFG/rfg.html
[From
the "research" link:]
Both
Hecke algebras and orthogonal polynomials are a rich source of
combinatorics. Furthermore, the relationship between the
two topics is
deep
and interesting and has led to exciting
results in current research.
Orthogonal
polynomials and special functions have applications to many
areas,
such as quantum integrable systems,
harmonic analysis of simple
Lie
groups,
The
general theme of the RFG is to introduce students to areas of research
available
in the department, such as orthogonal
polynomials, elliptic
hypergeometric
functions, symmetric functions, Coxeter
groups,
combinatorics,
the representation theory of Hecke algebras,
Kazhdan-Lusztig
theory, crystal base theory, and
applications in physics.
One
quarter will be spent studying Hecke algebras, another studying
orthogonal
polynomials, and another developing the connections between
the two
topics. While some connections will be pointed out along the
way,
students and faculty could easily participate in the second
quarter's
activities without having been involved in those of the first
quarter.
In the
reading seminar we expect active participation by students who
will
take turns to present chapters of the books or articles of common
interest. In addition we expect the students with
combinatorial
interest
to participate in the Bay Area Discrete Math day in October of
2004
and March 2005.
Suggested
books and papers include:
Macdonald
"Symmetric functions and orthogonal polynomials,"
Szego
"Orthogonal Polynomials,"
Andrews,
Askey, Roy "Special functions,"
Koornwinder
"Askey-Wilson polynomials for root systems of type BC,"
pp.
189-204 in Contemp. Math., 138, Amer. Math. Soc.
Kirillov
"Lectures on affine Hecke algebras and Macdonald's
conjectures,"

New book by Gautschi on Orthogonal Polynomials

Polynomials: Computation and Approximation
Walter
Gautschi
ISBN:
0198506724, hardback, 312 pages
Publisher:
Oxford University Press
Series:
Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computation
Description
This is
the first book on constructive methods for, and applications of
orthogonal
polynomials, and the first available collection of relevant
Matlab
codes. The book begins with a concise introduction to the theory
of
polynomials orthogonal on the real line (or a portion thereof),
relative
to a positive measure of integration. Topics which are
particularly
relevant to computation are emphasized. The second chapter
develops
computational methods for generating the coefficients in the
basic
three-term recurrence relation. The methods are of two kinds:
moment-based
methods and discretization methods. The former are provided
with a
detailed sensitivity analysis. Other topics addressed concern
Cauchy
integrals of orthogonal polynomials and their computation, a new
discussion
of modification algorithms, and the generation of Sobolev
orthogonal
polynomials. The final chapter deals with selected
applications:
the numerical evaluation of integrals, especially by
Gauss-type
quadrature methods, polynomial least squares approximation,
moment-preserving
spline approximation, and the summation of slowly
convergent
series. Detailed historic and bibliographic notes are
appended
to each chapter. The book will be of interest not only to
mathematicians
and numerical analysts, but also to a wide clientele of
scientists
and engineers who perceive a need for applying orthogonal
polynomials.

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:
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://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 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.
