PREFACE
This book is de
voted to some topical prob
lems and various applica
tions of Operator Theory and
to its interplay with many
other fields of analysis as
modern approximation the
ory, theory of dynamic sys
tems, harmonic analysis and
complex analysis. It consists
of 20 carefully selected sur
veys and research-expository
papers. Their scope gives a
representative status report
on the field drawing a pic
ture of a rapidly developing
domain of analysis. An abun
dance of references completes
the picture.
All papers included
in the volume originate from
lectures delivered at the l1th
edition of the International
Workshop on Operator The
ory and its Applications
(IWOTA-2000, June 13-16,
Bordeaux). Some information
about the conference, including the complete list of participants, can be found on
forthcoming pages.
The editors are indebted to A.Sudakov for helping them in polishing and
assembling original TeX files.

International Workshop on Operator Theory and Its Applications
(June 13-June 16, 2000, Universite Bordeaux 1)
The International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications
(IWOTA) is a satellite meeting of the international symposium on the Mathe
matical Theory of Networks and Systems (MNTS). In 2000, the MNTS is held in
Perpignan, France, June 19-23. IWOTA 2000 was the eleventh workshop of this
kind.
The previous IWOTA meetings were held in Santa Monica, California, USA
(1981), Rehovot, Israel (1983), Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1985), Mesa, Ari
zona, USA (1987), Rotterdam, The Netherlands (1989), Sapporo, Japan (1991),
Regensburg, Germany (1995), Bloomington, Indiana, USA (1996), Groningen, The
Netherlands (1998).
The international Steering Committee of IWOTA consists of I. Gohberg
(President, Tel Aviv), T. Ando (Sapporo), H. Bart (Rotterdam), H. Bercovici
(Bloomington), R. Dijksma (Groningen), H. Dym (Rehovot), C. Foias (Col
lege Station), J. W. Helton (Vice-President, La Jolla), M. A. Kaashoek (Vice
President, Amsterdam), H. Langer (Vienna), R. Mennicken (Regensburg), L. Rod
man (Williamsburg), J. G. Stampfli (Bloomington).
The purpose of IWOTA is to bring together mathematicians and engineers
interested in operator theory and its applications to related fields, from differential
equations, harmonic and complex analysis, to mathematical systems and control
theory and signal processing. In fact, every two years IWOTA gathers leading
experts from over the world for an intensive exchange of information and opinions,
and for tracing the future developments in the field. The large participation of
researchers from Eastern European and CIS countries is also an important feature
of IWOTA meetings.
The program of IWOTA-2000 consisted of 17 plenary lectures of 50 minutes
including 5 minutes for questions and remarks, and 90 section lectures of 45 and 30
minutes also including 5 minutes for questions and remarks. There were more than
170 registered participants from 29 countries of all continents (except Antarctica):
Argentina - 1, Armenia - 1, Austria - 1, Azerbaijan - 1, Canada- 1, Finland - 4,
France - 37, Germany - 5, Hungary - 1, Iran - 1, Israel - 14, Japan - 1, Maroc -
2, Mexico - 1, The Netherlands - 6, New Zealand - 2, Norway 2, Poland - 3,
Portugal - 2, Romania - 6, Russia - 10, Spain - 3, Sweden - 2, TUrkey - 1,
Ukraine - 20, United Kingdom - 4, USA - 32, Uzbekistan - 1, Venezuela - 4. The
list of participants is given below.
Some financial support was provided for some participants, especially from
the Eastern countries. This has been made possible through the generous sponsor
ing by international and French institutions listed below. We are very grateful for
their help.

Special thanks. We thank the City of Bordeaux for the welcome reception on
Thesday, June 13. Warmest thanks are given to an informal team of our closest
collaborators working hard for this large meeting: Genevieve Castaignede, Em
manuel Fricain, Stanislav Kupin, Cathy Metivier, Ludmila Nikolskaia, and Pascale
Vitse, as well as to many others whose timely advice was so important, namely to
Eric Amar, Hakim Bachir, Robert Deville, Iban Harlouchet, Andreas Hartmann,
Chantal Menini, Macha Nikolskaia, David Sherman, Elisabeth Strouse, and Fouad
Zarouf.
Acknowledgements. As the majority of its homologues, the IWOTA confer
ences have no permanent funding. Their existence and function rely on financial aid
from international and national organizations supporting the development of fun
damental sciences. We gratefully acknowledge the following for their financial sup

entists from the Independent States of the former Soviet Union), European Union;
