Download or read book Difference Equations, Special Functions and Orthogonal Polynomials written by Saber Elaydi and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2007 with total page 789 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains talks given at a joint meeting of three communities working in the fields of difference equations, special functions and applications (ISDE, OPSFA, and SIDE). The articles reflect the diversity of the topics in the meeting but have difference equations as common thread. Articles cover topics in difference equations, discrete dynamical systems, special functions, orthogonal polynomials, symmetries, and integrable difference equations.
