International Conference on Asymptotics and Special Functions
30 May - 03 June, 2011
City University of Hong Kong
Objectives
Special functions is a very classic subject which together with their asymptotics has many connections to various areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics. Since the 1980's, special functions, orthogonal polynomials and their asymptotics have seen tremendous developments. Many new areas evolved such as the combinatorial theory of orthogonal polynomials, special functions on root systems, several variable and matrix valued special functions, uniform asymptotics, and the application of Riemann-Hilbert techniques to orthogonal polynomials.
The conference will bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds whose research interests overlap with special functions and orthogonal polynomials; and their asymptotics. The speakers will report on the state of the art in these areas and we expect the presence of such talent in one place will lead to significant developments.
The program will also contain some symbolic algebra presentations.
