The aim of this journal is to publish papers in mathematical physics and related areas that are of the highest quality. Research papers and review articles are selected through the normal refereeing process, overseen by an editorial board. The research subjects are primarily on mathematical physics; but this should not be interpreted as a limitation, as the editors feel that essentially all subjects of mathematics and physics are in principle relevant to mathematical physics.

The articles collected in this volume represent the contributions presented at the IMA workshop on Dynamics of Algorithms which took place in November 1997. The workshop was an integral part of the 1997-98 IMA program on Emerging Applications of Dynamical Systems. The interaction between algorithms and dynamical systems is mutually beneficial since dynamical methods can be used to study algorithms that are applied repeatedly. Convergence, asymptotic rates are indeed dynamical properties. On the other hand, the study of dynamical systems benefits enormously from having efficient algorithms to...
