Subject: Announcement of a book on self-similar systems

 "Self-Similar Systems", Proceedings of the International
 Workshop (July 30 - August 7, Dubna, Russia, 1998).
 Edited by V.B. Priezzhev and V.P. Spiridonov
 (JINR, E5-99-38, Dubna, 1999), 404 pp.
 ISBN 5-85165-525-9

This book consists of three parts:
I. Wavelets and their applications.
II. Self-structuring, quasicrystals, nonlinear equations.
III. Orthogonal polynomials and special functions.

The orthogonal polynomials session of the workshop was devoted to the 
centenary of the Soviet mathematician and mechanicist Ya.L. Geronimus. 
The contents of the corresponding part of the proceedings is given 
below. Complete information on the book is available on  the web-page:
