SRIVASTAVAON THE OCCASION OF HIS 70th BIRTHDAY Congratulation Messages to Professor Hari M. Srivastava on the Occasion of His 70th Birthday European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics It is our great honor and pleasure that we publish a special issue, entitled Complex Analy- sis: Theory and Applications, dedicated to Prof. Hari M. Srivastava on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Prof. Srivastava, one of the great mathematicians, is one of our distinguished Advi- sory Editors and also a distinguished member of the Advisory Board for Journal of Algebraic Statistics. JAS is the first and unique journal in the field and an affiliate Journal of EJPAM. He always supports and helps us by his cordial and kind approaches. We would like to thank Prof. Srivastava for his guidance. Another honor for us is that Prof. Alan T. Huckleberry, another distinguished Editorial Board member, has edited this honorary special volume. We have included papers and mes- sages / tributes from Prof. Srivastava’s close friends, co-authors and colleagues in this special issue. We would like to thank Prof. Hari M. Srivastava, Prof. Alan T. Huckleberry and other contributors very much; without them this special issue would not be published. We also acknowledge Prof. I. Naci Cangül’s Biography and thank him for his significant contribution. From the European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics family, we wish Prof. Hari M. Srivastava a healthy, long and happy life with his family. With our best regards, Ünsal Tekir Eyüp Çetin Founders & Editors, European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Istanbul, Turkey *** http://www.ejpam.com 920 c© 2010 EJPAM All rights reserved. EJPAM / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 920-923 921 Professor H.M. Srivastava’s contribution to Mathematics, in particular “Applicable Math- ematics and Complex Analysis" is remarkable. He has published a large number of research papers and books in these fields. He is associated with a number of research journals as Chief and Associate Editor. He has an illustrious and brilliant academic career. He is known as research worker par excellence. My personal association with Prof. Srivastava spans over a period of three decades or so. I do recall having met him first in July 1973, when he delivered a series of invited lectures at MNIT, Jaipur (India), thus providing us all with an opportunity to develop and strengthen our collaborative research on various mutual interesting topics of special functions and fractional calculus. In 1982, I have written a research monograph titled “The H-functions of one and two variables with applications" in his collaboration. All the members of Editorial Board of EJPAM deserve to be congratulated for their ini- tiative in publishing Special Honorary Volume “Complex Analysis: Theory and Applications" dedicated on Srivastava’s 70th Birthday. I hope he will continue his contribution in the field of Mathematics and wish him a sound health and ever flourshing long life. Professor S.P. Goyal Emeritus Scientist (CSIR), University of Rajasthan, India *** On the occasion of his 70th birthday, it is a great honor and joy for me to wish Professor Hari M. Srivastava, one of the most distinguished experts in the world in Complex analysis, a long and healthy life, full of happiness and accomplishments. Professor Sorin Gal University of Oradea, Romania *** This Hari M. Srivastava commemorating research volume, as a tribute to his 70th birth- day, is a great forum for exchanging original ideas among eminent mathematicians, from many parts of the scientific world in complex analysis, special functions and differential equa- tions. I always wish him all the best in his personal and academic life! Professor John Michael Rassias National and Capodistrian University of Athens , Greece *** EJPAM / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 920-923 922 All best wishes to the mathematicians’ teacher over all the world. Professor M. K. Aouf Professor R. M. El-Ashwah Mansoura University, Egypt *** It has been a pleasure and honor to work with you. I wish you all the best and good health always. I deeply hope that we would have a chance to meet in CYCU, Taiwan again in the near future. Professor Hang-Chin Lai Chung Yuan Christian University, Taiwan (Republic of China) National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan (Republic of China) *** I feel honored to give my warmest celebration on the occasion of the seventieth birth anniversary of Professor Hari M. Srivastava, an internationally renowned mathematician, in the Special Dedication Issue of the European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics. It has already been about 20 years since I met Professor Srivastava. There is a Korean saying which says “One decade can make even mountains and rivers changed." I found myself surprised that he’s seventy because I’ve never noticed it while keeping in touch with him for about 20 years. Looking back on the day I met him for the first time in Busan, Korea, I thought he was very gentle and kind. I can’t forget his warm smile and the glitter of his eyes. I would like to note that I have received much help and advice from Prof. Srivastava about Geometric Function Theory. I am really indebted to him for the breadth and depth of his expertise. Professor Srivastava has published great volumes of research papers and books on Spe- cial Function Theory, Complex Variables and so on. It’s outstanding achievement to have influenced so many scholars in these fields. I am sincerely glad to recognize his academic achievement. Finally, I want to say God bless Professor Srivastava with good health and happiness with family. Professor Nak Eun Cho Pukyong National University, Korea *** EJPAM / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 920-923 923 May your research endavours continue to inspire generations. Professor Poonam Sharma University of Lucknow, India *** I wish you happiness and joy in life. I hope all your birthday dreams and wishes come true. Professor Mourou Mohamed Ali Girls College of Sciences at Dammam, University of Dammam, Saudi Arabia *** I am very glad to know that a special issue of European Journal of Pure and Applied Math- ematics dedicated to Prof. H. M. Srivastava on the occasion of his 70th birthday is going to be published. Prof. Srivastava is a renowned mathematician in the field of Complex Analysis and Special Functions. I am associated with Prof. Srivastava for a long time. His jovial attitudes, his ways of presenting complex mathematical tools has been an inspiration for me. In my opinion the young mathematicians will be benefitted for his contributions in Mathematics. I sincerely pray to God for his long cherish life and his ability to work in the field of mathemat- ics for a long time. Professor Uday Chand De University of Calcutta, India ***
