Orthogonal polynomials and special functions [electronic resource] : computation and applications / F. Marcellán, W. van Assche (eds.)

Special functions and orthogonal polynomials in particular have been around for centuries. Can you imagine mathematics without trigonometric functions, the exponential function or polynomials? In the twentieth century the emphasis was on special functions satisfying linear differential equations, bu...
