Nonselfadjoint Operators and Related Topics: Workshop on Operator Theory and Its Applications

This volume presents the Proceedings of the Joint U.S. / Israel Workshop on Operator Theory and Its Applications, held February 24-28, 1992, at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beersheva. This event was sponsored by the United States / Israel Binational Science Foundation and the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and many outstanding experts in operator theory took part. The workshop honored Professor Emeritus Moshe Livsic on the occasion of his retirement. The volume contains a selection of papers covering a wide range of topics in modern operator theory and its applications, from abstract operator theory to system theory and computers in operator models. The papers treat linear and nonlinear problems, and study operators from different abstract and concrete classes. Many of the topics concern the area in which contributions of Moshe Livsic were extremely important. This book will appeal to a wide audience of pure and applied mathematicians and engineers.
