This authoritative volume comprises the plenary lectures and articles by many of the field's leading researchers who were brought together for the fourth time at the congress of the International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation (ISAAC). A wide spectrum of topics in modern analysis is covered by the fully refereed contributions, such as complex analysis, nonlinear analysis, inverse problems, wavelets, signals and images. In particular, important areas--"not given special emphasis in previous meetings--"include special functions and orthogonal polynomials, harmonic...

The ISAAC (International Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation) Congress, which has been held every second year since 1997, covers the major progress in analysis, applications and computation in recent years. In this proceedings volume, plenary lectures highlight the recent research results, while 17 sessions organized by well-known specialists reflect the state of the art of important subfields. This volume concentrates on partial differential equations, function spaces, operator theory, integral transforms and equations, potential theory, complex analysis and...
