Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a compilation of the results of an international workshop on Operators, Systems and Linear Algebra. It contains contributions of several outstanding researchers in the area of mathematical systems theory and its applications, covering recent results as well as survery articles. These present a retrospect of the past three decades of algebraic systems theory and provide outlooks on the future development of the field. The book offers a wide range of theoretical and applied topics, with emphasis on computational aspects and relations to practical problems.
