Editorial Preface
Thisvolumecontainsaselectionofpapersinmodernoperatortheoryanditsappli-
cations. Most of them are directly related to lectures presented at the Fourteenth
InternationalWorkshop on Operator Theory and its Applications (IWOTA 2003)
held at the University of Cagliari,Italy, in the period of June 24–27, 2003.
The workshop, which was attended by 108 mathematicians – including a
number of PhD and postdoctoral students – from 22 countries, presented eight
special sessions on
1) control theory,
2) interpolation theory,
3) inverse scattering,
4) numerical estimates for operators,
5) numerical treatment of integral equations,
6) pseudodifferential operators,
7) realizations and transformations of analytic functions and indefinite inner
product spaces, and
8) structured matrices.
The program consisted of 19 plenary lectures of 45 minutes and 78 lectures of 30
minutes in four parallel sessions.
The present volume reflects the wide range and rich variety of topics pre-
sentedanddiscussedattheworkshop,bothwithinandoutsidethespecialsessions.
The papers deal with inverse scattering, numerical ranges, pseudodifferential op-
erators,numericalanalysis,interpolation theory, multidimensional system theory,
indefinite inner products, spectral factorization, and stationary processes.
SinceintheperiodthattheproceedingsofIWOTA2003werebeingprepared,
Israel Gohberg, the president of the IWOTA steering committee, reached the age
of 75, we decided to dedicate these proceedings to Israel Gohberg on the occasion
of his 75th birthday.Alloftheauthorsoftheseproceedingshavejoinedtheeditors
and dedicated their papers to him as well.

solutions explicitly.A numericalimplementation of themethod is developed.
For such rational reflection coefficients, the scattering wave solutions to the

no bound states and to belong to the Faddeev class. The bound states of (1.1)

In the absence of bound states, (1.1) does not have any bounded solutions
for k2 < 0. The solutions for k2 > 0 are known as the scattering solutions. Each
scattering solution can be expressed as a linear combination of the two (linearly-
independent) Jost solutions from the left and the right, denoted by f and f ,

respectively, satisfying the respective asymptotic conditions
f(k,x)=eikx[1+o(1)], f (k,x)=ikeikx[1+o(1)], x + ,
