SynopsisA scheme devised by Chandrasekhar for investigating the transformations between various differential equations of the second order governing perturbations of the Schwarzschild black hole demands further investigation. The transformation between two differential equations in normal form is considered, and a wide survey of the properties of the transformation is given. It is shown how Chandrasekhar's equations fit into the scheme, after which some examples with particular properties are considered. A detailed investigation of Bessel's equation is undertaken using various devices, in particular by employing asymptotic methods for products of Bessel functions, and employing matrix methods for dealing with large numbers of matrix equations which necessitates an interesting method of solution, the results being reinterpretations of the standard recurrence relations for Bessel functions.

We introduce new families of Hermite polynomials and of Bessel functions from a point of view involving the use of nonexponential generating functions. We study their relevant recurrence relations and show that they satisfy differential-difference equations which are isospectral to those of the ordinary case. We also indicate the usefulness of some of these new families.

Using certain results for the vertex operator algebras associated with affine Lie algebras, we obtain recurrence relations for the characters of integrable highest weight irreducible modules for an affine Lie algebra. As an application we show that in the simply-laced level 1 case, these recurrence relations give the known characters, whose principal specializations naturally give rise to some multisum Macdonald identities.

The Inönü-Wigner contraction from the Lorentz group O(2,1) to the Euclidean group E(2) is used to relate the separation of variables in the Laplace-Beltrami operators on the two corresponding homogeneous spaces. We consider the contractions on four levels: the Lie algebra, the commuting sets of second order operators in the enveloping algebra o(2,1), the coordinate systems and some eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operators.

The Askey–Wilson algebra is realized in terms of the elements of the quantum algebras [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. A new realization of the Racah algebra in terms of the Lie algebras [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is also given. Details for different specializations are provided. The advantage of these new realizations is that one generator of the Askey–Wilson (or Racah) algebra becomes diagonal in the usual representation of the quantum algebras whereas the second one is tridiagonal. This allows us to recover easily the recurrence relations of the associated orthogonal polynomials of the Askey scheme. These realizations involve rational functions of the Cartan generator of the quantum algebras, where they are linear with respect to the other generators and depend on the Casimir element of the quantum algebras.

Higher order Bessel functions are prevalent in physics and engineering and there exist different methods to evaluate them quickly and efficiently. Two of these methods are Miller's algorithm and the continued fractions algorithm. Miller's algorithm uses arbitrary starting values and normalization constants to evaluate Bessel functions. The continued fractions algorithm directly computes each value, keeping the error as small as possible. Both methods respect the stability of the Bessel function recurrence relations. Here we outline both methods and explain why the continued fractions algorithm is more efficient. The goal of this paper is both (1) to introduce the continued fractions algorithm to physics and engineering students and (2) to present a MATLAB GUI (Graphic User Interface) where this method has been used for computing the Semi-integer Bessel Functions and their zeros.
