►His research interests include fundamental solutions of linear partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds, associated Legendre and Jacobi functions, generalized and basic hypergeometric functions, eigenfunction expansions in separable coordinate systems, generating functions, -series, and orthogonal polynomials in the Askey and -Askeyschemes.

►Just as the classical OPs fit into the Askeyscheme (see §18.19 and Figure 18.21.1) with Wilson and Racah polynomials on top, the Jacobi polynomials on the simplex fit into a scheme of OPs defined as products of one-variable OPs belonging to the Askeyscheme by formulas somewhat resembling (37.14.7).
However, when the one-variable OPs are taken from a higher level in the Askeyscheme, the analogues of the denominators in the arguments in (37.14.7) will be parameters depending on variables.

►Starting from OPs in the -Askeyscheme (see §18.27(i)), similar constructions of -variable OPs can be made.

►Published in 1985 in the Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society, it also introduced the directed graph of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials commonly known as the Askeyscheme.

Luke (1969b, p. 25) gives a Chebyshev expansion near infinity for the
confluent hypergeometric -function (§13.2(i)) from
which Chebyshev expansions near infinity for , ,
and follow by using (6.11.2) and
(6.11.3). Luke also includes a recursion scheme for computing the
coefficients in the expansions of the functions. If
the scheme can be used in backward direction.
