The study of modern engineering and physical sciences increasingly demands a deep understanding of applied mathematics, especially special functions. These functions play a key role in fields such as acoustics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, and optics, helping to express both approximate and exact analytical solutions to complex problems. This, in turn, provides clearer insights into the fundamental properties and mechanisms involved.
This Special Issue aims to explore the use of classical and higher-order special functions in addressing advanced challenges in mathematical physics. These challenges may be defined by specific symmetries, such as rectangular, cylindrical, or spherical, or by unconventional models. We also encourage the study of new special functions, with a focus on their governing differential equations, recurrence relations, and the development of efficient computational algorithms, such as those utilizing uniform asymptotic expansions for small and large parameters.
We invite you to contribute review articles and original research papers that highlight recent progress in the theory and applications of special functions.
