Workshop on Semigroups of Positive Operators; Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, June 17-29

这笔奖金将有助于支持将于1990年6月17日至29日在荷属安的列斯群岛库拉索岛举行的关于积极操作者半群的会议。这次会议由加勒比数学基金会（CMF）主办，将由佛罗里达大学的Jorge Martinez教授和荷属安的列斯大学的Waldemar Marcha教授共同组织。这次会议的目的是让来自加勒比海和拉丁美洲的数学家与来自美国、欧洲和澳大利亚的专家会面，为未来的研究建立联系。会议的安排将促进能够减轻发展中国家数学家与主流研究隔绝的各种接触。会议之前将有一个为期一周的迷你课程，由三位世界级的研究人员讲授，他们将介绍有序巴拿赫空间上的正算子理论。该奖项的资金将用于为16名学员提供参加该迷你课程的津贴。CMF鼓励许多迷你课程参与者留在第二周参加会议，会议将汇集一些世界领先的专家，他们来自有序巴拿赫空间的结构理论，正算子的半群理论及其应用。通过提供一个发展中国家数学家可以与世界一流的研究人员会面和交流信息的环境，该奖项实现了发展中国家科学计划的目标。

This award will help to support a conference on semigroups of positive operators to take place in Curacao, Netherland Antilles from June 17 to the 29, 1990. The meeting, sponsored by the Caribbean Mathematics Foundation (CMF), will be jointly organized by Prof. Jorge Martinez of the University of Florida and Prof. Waldemar Marcha of the University of the Netherlands Antilles. The purpose of the meeting is for mathematicians from the Caribbean and Latin America to meet experts from the U.S., Europe, and Australia to form contacts for future research. The meeting will be structured to promote the kinds of contacts that will lessen the isolation of developing country mathematicians from mainstream research. The conference will be preceded by a one-week mini-course given by three world class researchers who will furnish an introduction to the theory of positive operators on ordered Banach spaces. Funding from this award will help to provide stipends for 16 participants to attend this mini-course. The CMF is encouraging as many of the mini-course participants to stay the second week for the conference, which will bring together some of the world's leading experts from the structure theory of ordered Banach spaces, the semigroup theory of positive operators, and their application. By providing an environment where developing country mathematicians can meet and exchange information with world class researchers, this award fulfills the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program.
