A modest fee will be established of 150 EURO including everything (book of abstracts, coffee-tea breaks, welcome party) except for accommodation, meal and excursion.

 

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR (IF ONLY) INTENTION on a possibly early stage (and ANY SUGGESTION concerning the topics etc.). Please send a short message to me: tee@inm.ras.ru (Eugene Tyrtyshnikov).

 

We are also planning to publish a book of papers related to the topics of this conference with World Scientific Publishing. Preliminary target date will be November 1, 2007. Please let me know if you are willing to submit a paper for this book (approx. up to 20 pages) at your earliest convenience.  Call for papers for this volume is below.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE VOLUME "Matrix methods: theory and algorithms"

 

In 2007 we have already 5 years of the work of the International Seminar on MATRIX METHODS AND OPERATOR EQUATIONS in Moscow based in the Institute of Numerical Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It was opened on June 28, 2002 by the  talk of Georg Heinig. Then it grew up into two international conferences: in 2003 and 2005. The next conference is planned for July, 2007.

 

We suggest to memorize the 5-year existence by publishing a book of papers on the topics related to  matrix methods and operator equations, with an ever-increasing accent on structured matrices and their role in mathematics and applications. The papers may contain original results or surveys of  the state-of-the-art of the topical problems of this beautiful and rich field of matrix analysis and linear algebra applications.

 

We invite to submit high quality papers of approximately up to 20 pages for those reporting on new findings. Survey papers are especially welcome, please contact the editors re their lengths in advance.

 

We plan to publish the volume with World Scientific Publishing. World Scientific is one of the leading international scientific publishers,it publishes around 400 new titles each year and 90 journals in many fields.

 

The papers can be submitted via email to any of the two handling editors:

    * Vadim Olshevsky,  Email: olshevsky@math.uconn.edu

    * Eugene Tyrtyshnikov, Email: tee@inm.ras.ru

The target date for submissions is November 1, 2007.
