About this Item

Many of the advances in the field of special functions were inspired by the works of R A Askey and colleagues on basic hypergeometric series and I G Macdonald on orthogonal polynomials related to root systems. The CRM organized a workshop for key researchers in the field. This volume consists of the contributions to that workshop. Editor(s): Diejen, Jan Felipe Van; Vinet, Luc.

About this title

Synopsis

Sixteen papers from the May 1996 workshop held in Montreal provide an overview of the rapid developments in the field of special functions, with an emphasis on the algebraic aspects. Among the topics are relationships among certain m-tuples of the Garsia- Haiman modules M m and corresponding elements of the Macdonald basis, the classification of generalized hypergeometric series representations and rational approximations to classes of hypergeometric functions, symmetries and continuous q-orthogonal polynomials, and the q-Bessel function on a q-quadratic grid.
