Topic #11 --------------- OP-SF NET ---------------- November 15, 1996 ~~~~~~~~~ From: Rene Swarttouw Subject: Extended version of Askey-Wilson-scheme report Roelof Koekoek and Rene' Swarttouw are currently working on an extended version of their report The Askey-scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and its q-analogue, Report 94-05, Delft University of Technology, Faculty TWI, 1994 This new version will include Rodrigues' type formulae, forward and backward shift-operators, leading coefficients and the monic recurrence relations for all the orthogonal polynomials in the Askey-Wilson-scheme. They are also working on an update of the list of references. Concerning the latter subject they urge users of the report (or the electronic version see http://www.can.nl/~demo/AWscheme/index.html to go through the current bibliography and to look if they are missing some important references. If so, please contact Rene' Swarttouw by e-mail or send him a preprint of the missing article(s). We thank everybody for their cooperation.
