Thirteenth International Workshop on Operator Theory and Applications (IWOTA2002), August 6-9, 2002, Blacksburg, Virginia

0126746 Ball算子理论与应用国际研讨会（IWOTA）自1981年以来每两年举办一次，近年来（从1995年开始）在北美、欧洲和亚洲的八个国家举办得更频繁。IWOTA会议提供了一个丰富的计划，广泛的最新发展的运营商理论及其应用。在一个由著名数学家和邀请和贡献的会谈平行会议的全会讲座相结合，计划是今年的会议（将于2002年8月6日至9日在弗吉尼亚州布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工大学校园举行），涵盖广泛的主题，包括算子/系统理论，算子/散射理论，算子理论/数值分析，算子理论/小波和信号处理，算子理论/调和分析以及Krein空间算子理论和核心工程的主题。这些主题形成了各种应用背后的基础科学核心，包括工业过程或高性能飞机的控制，断层扫描和图像重建，光纤中的脉冲传播，地震学，数据压缩和重建，IWOTA的最初概念是作为运营商理论家的卫星会议，以更广泛的国际研讨会为基础，网络和系统的数学理论（MTNS），将于2002年8月12日至16日在圣母大学举行。虽然这一概念仍然存在，但近年来IWOTA的范围已大大扩大，IWOTA现已获得独立身份，成为核心算子理论及其应用最新发展的世界性会议。IWOTA的主要目标是汇集运营商理论和相关领域的主要研究人员。这些会议为所有与会者提供了机会，以介绍自己的工作贡献会谈，互动与其他研究人员从世界各地的地球仪，并扩大他们的知识领域听取邀请讲座著名数学家。此外，IWOTA强调数学家，电气工程师和数学物理学家之间的跨学科互动，并鼓励与会者继续参加MTNS会议，以进一步扩大跨学科互动。此外，IWOTA还鼓励和资助年轻研究人员的参与，即，高级研究生和最近的博士学位专家会议提供的机会对受援国特别重要

0126746BallThe International Workshop on Operator Theory and Applications (IWOTA) has been held biannually since 1981 and more frequently in recent years (starting in 1995) in eight countries in North America, Europe and Asia. The IWOTA conferences offer a rich program on a wide range of the latest developments in operator theory and its applications. In a combination of plenary lectures by eminent mathematicians and parallel sessions of invited and contributed talks, the plan is for this year's conference (to be held August 6-9, 2002 on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia) to cover a wide range of topics, including operator/system theory, operator/scattering theory, operator theory/numerical analysis, operator theory/wavelets and signal processing, operator theory/harmonic analysis as well as topics in Krein space operator theory and core engineering. These topics form a core of the basic science behind a variety of applications, including control of industrial processes or high performance aircraft, tomography and image reconstruction, pulse propagation in optical fibers, seismology, data compression and reconstruction, and identification of only approximately known parameters.The original concept of IWOTA was as a satellite conference for operator theorists to the broader based international symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems (MTNS), to be held August 12-16, 2002 at the University of Notre Dame. While this concept is still in place, the scope of IWOTA has broadened considerably in recent years and IWOTA has now attained an independent identity as a world-wide conference for recent developments in core operator theory and its applications. IWOTA's primary objective is to bring together major researchers in the area of operator theory and related fields. These meetings provide opportunities for all participants to present their own work in contributed talks, to interact with other researchers from around the globe, and to broaden their knowledge of the field by hearing the invited lectures of eminent mathematicians. In addition IWOTA emphasizes cross-disciplinary interaction among mathematicians, electrical engineers and mathematical physicists, and encourages participants to continue on to the MTNS conference for a further broader interdisciplinary interaction. In addition, IWOTA encourages and financially supports the participation of young researchers, i.e., advanced graduate students and recent Ph.D. recipients, for whom the opportunities offered by expert conferences are particularly important
