Description and Table of Contents

Description

Special functions and orthogonal polynomials in particular have been around for centuries. Can you imagine mathematics without trigonometric functions, the exponential function or polynomials? The present set of lecture notes contains seven chapters about the current state of orthogonal polynomials and special functions and gives a view on open problems and future directions.

Table of Contents

Orthogonal Polynomials, Quadrature, and Approximation: Computational Methods and Software (in Matlab).- Equilibrium Problems of Potential Theory in the Complex Plane.- Discrete Orthogonal Polynomials and Superlinear Convergence of Krylov Subspace Methods in Numerical Linear Algebra.- Orthogonal Rational Functions on the Unit Circle: from the Scalar to the Matrix Case.- Orthogonal Polynomials and Separation of Variables.- An Algebraic Approach to the Askey Scheme of Orthogonal Polynomials.- Painleve Equations - Nonlinear Special Functions.
