DESCRIPTION:Registration deadline: Friday June 10\, 2022 4 p.m. (EDT)\n\nTh
 e 16th International Symposium on Orthogonal Polynomials\, Special Functio
 ns and Applications (OPSFA16)\, organised by the Centre de recherches math
 ématiques will take place online from June 13-17\, 2022..\n\nConferences i
 n the OPSFA series provide a forum for mathematicians\, physicists\, compu
 tational scientists\, and application scientists in other fields to commun
 icate recent research results in the areas of orthogonal polynomials and s
 pecial functions (OPSF). OPSF plays an essential role in analytical and co
 mputational investigations in applied mathematics. Information about previ
 ous conferences in the OPSFA series is available at https://wis.kuleuven.b
 e/events/archive/OPSFA \n\nThis symposium is an event of the SIAM Activity
  Group on Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions. The activity group
  promotes basic research in orthogonal polynomials and special functions\;
  furthers the application of this subject in other parts of mathematics\, 
 and in science and industry\; and encourages and supports the exchange of 
 information\, ideas\, and techniques between workers in this field and oth
 er mathematicians and scientists. The activity group also awards the Gábor
  Szegő Prize every two years to an early-career researcher for outstanding
  research contributions in the area of orthogonal polynomials and special 
 functions.\n\nThis conference will be dedicated to the memory of Richard A
 skey.\n\n\n\nRichard Allen (Dick) Askey was born on June 4\, 1933 and died
  at the age of 86 on October 9\, 2019. He revitalized the subject of speci
 al functions by his very deep insight into mathematical analysis and discr
 ete mathematics. Among some of his many contributions\, we note the Askey—
 Wilson integral and polynomials\, Askey—Gasper positivity results\, the As
 key—Roy integral\, the Askey—Ismail combinatorial works and his work on Po
 llaczek polynomials. One of Dick Askey's major contributions was the insig
 ht to see that many q-series identities\, old and new\, are different q-an
 alogies of the beta integral. Askey also had major contributions in the ex
 planation and extension of the work of Ramanujan. He promoted multivariate
  special functions\, analysis on root systems\, and Macdonald-type identit
 ies.\n\nThe Gábor Szegő Prize:\n\nEvery two years the Gábor Szegő Prize is
  awarded to an early career researcher for outstanding contributions to re
 search in the field of orthogonal polynomials and special functions The Ga
 bor Szegő prize 2021 is awarded to Dr Atul Dixit for his impressive scient
 ific work solving problems related to number theory using special function
 s\, in particular related to the work of Ramanujan. Atul did his PhD in Ma
 thematics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his adviso
 r was Bruce C. Berndt. Currently Atul is an Associate Professor in the Dis
 cipline of Mathematics at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar\,
  India.\n\n\n\nThe committee thought that the scientific work of Atul Dixi
 t was very impressive\, linking analysis\, number theory and special funct
 ions\, and\, in doing so\, he has made a significant contribution to the f
 ield of Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions. In particular\, his 
 paper 'New pathways and connections in number theory and analysis motivate
 d by two incorrect claims of Ramanujan:\, co-authored with Arindam Roy\, A
 lexandru Zaharescu\, and Bruce Berndt. This is over 100 pages in length an
 d appeared in Advances in Mathematics [304 (2017)\, pp 809-929]. In additi
 on to this paper\, which was mentioned in the prize nomination\, Atul Dixi
 t has published a significant number of papers since receiving his PhD in 
 2011\, which have been published in a variety of quality journals\, with v
 arious co-authors.\n\nOrganizers :\n	Hendrik De Bie (Universiteit Gent)\n	Ja
