Is there anyone working on adding a boost-license compliant implementation of these to boost.TR1? I'm looking at the possibility of doing some work on this as part of a directed study.
Some work: I have a few special function here: http://www.johnmaddock.co.uk/toolkit which partly overlap with TR1, there is also a Google SOC project in this area - Xiaogang Zhang has been working on these, just Bessel functions so far, you can browse the source here: https://boost-consulting.com:8443/trac/soc/browser/boost/soc 2006/tr1-math/trunk
But any further developments would be welcome

Paris (U.E.), le 17/08/2006 Bonjour In theory, the DLMF project should come to fruition this year (http://dlmf.nist.gov/about/), which can only help both in terms of techniques to use and, one can dream, in interest in the subject. As far as the TR1 stands, I still feel the lack of genericity enshrined by the C-style naming conventions of the special functions is a glaring error. Still, having no standard support for usefull functions is worse than bad support (that could be built upon), IMHO. So, whatever you can contribute will be most welcome. I should point out that some requests have been made to have interval computations (as opposed to only pointwise computations), which AFAIK have still gone completely unanswered, but which do have practical applications; perhaps this would be a good place to contribute (among so many...).
