Olejar Books

This book contains a selection of carefully refereed research papers, most of which were presented at the 14th International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications (IWOTA) held at Cagliari, Italy (June 24-27, 2003). The papers, many of which have been written by leading experts in the field, concern a wide variety of topics in modern operator theory and applications, with emphasis on differential operators and numerical methods. Included are papers on the structure of operators, spectral theory of differential operators, theory of pseudo-differential operators and Fourier integral operators, numerical methods for solving nonlinear integral equations, singular integral equations, and Toeplitz systems. Other main topics covered are inverse problems for canonical systems, factorization methods, metric constrained interpolation, mathematical system theory, and elements of multivariable operator theory. The book will be of interest to a wide audience of pure and applied mathematicians and engineers.
