Hello, I have frequently felt the lack of more special functions in CM3. This has also been noticed by other users (see recent entry in the Math Wish List). I guess that special functions were implemented when needed in the distribution package. I would like to start expanding the CM3 capabilities in this area. As suggested, Bessel functions would be a good start. I propose to proceed as follows - first solve MATH-718, MATH-738 and MATH-753 which are all closely related to special functions (that would be a good training for me!), - introduce a framework for Chebyshev expansions [1], which are frequently met in the approximation of special functions, - start working on Bessel functions.
Questions are - Do you think that would be a useful addition? If yes, I'll create a new ticket for discussions on an apropriate framework for Chebyshev expansions. - Would you like us to start with another family of special functions (I do use Bessel functions, but any other would be equally fun for me!).
