This book is the Proceedings of the Second ISAAC Congress. ISAAC is the acronym of the International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation. The president of ISAAC is Professor Robert P. Gilbert, the second named editor of this book, e-mail: gilbert@math.udel.edu. The Congress is world-wide valued so highly that an application for a grant has been selected and this project has been executed with Grant No. 11-56 from *the Commemorative Association for the Japan World Exposition (1970). The finance of the publication of this book is exclusively the said Grant No. 11-56 from *....

Let 8 be a Riemann surface of analytically finite type (9, n) with 29 2+n> O. Take two pointsP1, P2 E 8, and set 8,1>2= 8 {P1' P2}. Let PI Homeo+(8;P1, P2) be the group of all orientation preserving homeomor phismsw: 8 -+ 8 fixingP1, P2 and isotopic to the identity on 8. Denote byHomeot(8;Pb P2) the set of all elements ofHomeo+(8;P1, P2) iso topic to the identity on 8, P2' ThenHomeot(8;P1, P2) is a normal sub pl group ofHomeo+(8;P1, P2). We setIsot(8;P1, P2) =Homeo+(8;P1, P2)/ Homeot(8;p1, P2). The purpose of this note is to announce a result on the Nielsen Thurston-Bers type classification...

An intensive development of the theory of generalized analytic functions started when methods of Complex Analysis were combined with methods of Functional Analysis, especially with the concept of distributional solutions to partial differential equations. The power of these interactions is far from being exhausted. In order to promote the further development of the theory of generalized analytic functions and applications of partial differential equations to Mechanics, the Technical University of Graz organized a conference whose Proceedings are contained in the present volume.

The emphasis of the two volumes is on complex analysis with classical topics such as value distribution, and modern topics such as complex dynamics, both in one and several complex variables; the application of complex analysis to partial differential equations and integral equations and its generalization to quaternionic and Clifford analysis; new results from real and functional analysis, numerical and computational mathematics; and areas in applied mathematics such as acoustics and computational biology. Audience: Researchers, especially those working in real and complex analysis, in...
