Frank W. J. Olver worked on special functions, asymptotic analysis of differential equations and reliable numerical methods. His research relates limiting descriptions of solutions to the computation of functions such as Bessel functions and hypergeometric functions. He authored the integer-order Bessel chapter in the original NIST handbook and helped develop the modern NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.[ref]
