Synopsis

The Fields Institute and Fields Medal (the latter mentioned in the film "Good Will Hunting") honor a Canadian mathematician. In his spirit and that of late coauthor A.V. Strauss (Ul'yanovsk Pedagogical U., former USSR) to whom the volume is dedicated, 35 papers illustrate that operator language is the language of modern mathematical analysis. Strauss's bibliography and posthumously published article on functional models of regular symmetric operators initiate the volume. In addition to papers on abstract operator theory, the theory of differential operators, and boundary value problems, there are examples of its applications in biology, chemistry, wave propagation, and inverse problems. Ramm is with the mathematics department at Kansas State U. Derived from the 1998 International Conference on Operator Theory and Its Applications held in Winnipeg. Lacks an index. Annotation c.
