Hypergeometric functions

Schwarz's list

In the mathematical theory of special functions, Schwarz's list or the Schwartz table is the list of 15 cases found by Hermann Schwarz when hypergeometric functions can be expressed algebraically. More precisely, it is a listing of parameters determining the cases in which the hypergeometric equation has a finite monodromy group, or equivalently has two independent solutions that are algebraic functions. It lists 15 cases, divided up by the isomorphism class of the monodromy group (excluding the case of a cyclic group), and was first derived by Schwarz by methods of complex analytic geometry. Correspondingly the statement is not directly in terms of the parameters specifying the hypergeometric equation, but in terms of quantities used to describe certain spherical triangles. The wider importance of the table, for general second-order differential equations in the complex plane, was shown by Felix Klein, who proved a result to the effect that cases of finite monodromy for such equations and regular singularities could be attributed to changes of variable (complex analytic mappings of the Riemann sphere to itself) that reduce the equation to hypergeometric form. In fact more is true: Schwarz's list underlies all second-order equations with regular singularities on compact Riemann surfaces having finite monodromy, by a pullback from the hypergeometric equation on the Riemann sphere by a complex analytic mapping, of degree computable from the equation's data. The numbers are (up to permutations, sign changes and addition of with even) the differences of the exponents of the hypergeometric differential equation at the three singular points . They are rational numbers if and only if and are, a point that matters in arithmetic rather than geometric approaches to the theory. (Wikipedia).

Martin J. Gander: Multigrid and Domain Decomposition: Similarities and Differences

Both multigrid and domain decomposition methods are so called optimal solvers for Laplace type problems, but how do they compare? I will start by showing in what sense these methods are optimal for the Laplace equation, which will reveal that while both multigrid and domain decomposition a

Maryna Viazovska (EPFL): Fourier interpolation

This lecture is about Fourier uniqueness and Fourier interpolation pairs. Suppose that we have two subsets X and Y of the Euclidean space. Can we reconstruct a function f from its restriction to the set X and the restriction of its Fourier transform to the set Y? We are interested in the p

DDPS | Schwarz alternating method as a means for concurrent multiscale coupling in solid mechanics

Concurrent multiscale methods are essential for the understanding and prediction of behavior of engineering systems when a small-scale event will eventually determine the performance of the entire system. This talk will describe the recently-proposed [1,2] domain-decomposition-based Schwar
