LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS - SPECIAL ISSUE
     
              LINEAR SYSTEMS AND CONTROL
     
In view of the success of the 1983 special issue on  Linear Systems
and  Control we think the time is ripe for another issue which will
also focus on those  areas  of  Systems  and  Control Theory,  Signal
Processing and Numerical Algebra where methods of Linear Algebra are
relevant. Note that we use Linear  Algebra  in the wide sense, thus
topics which are linear algebraic in flavour but  where  analytic
techniques  are  used,  such  as  much   of H-infinity theory,  are
not only acceptable but are solicited.
     
Contributions are invited. Papers should  meet  the  publications
standards  of  Linear Algebra and Its Applications, and they will be
refereed in the usual way. We are hoping to receive both papers
describing significant new results and well written survey papers on
a relevant topic within the outlines of the special issue.
     
Appropriate areas include:
     
Polynomial matrices, rational functions.
Realization theory in its various forms (deterministic, partial,
stochastic).
Inverse scattering.
Large scale or structured systems.
Geometric methods.
Control design methods.
Model reduction.
Stability and quadratic forms, Bezoutians.
Hankel and Toeplitz operators and related operators.
Recursive methods. Interpolation problems.
Fast algorithms, Parallel algorithms.
Factorization theory (coprime, inner outer, Wiener-Hopf).
Parametrization problems in system theory.
Structured eigenvalue problems.
Decentralized control.
     
The deadline for submission of papers is May 31, 1988, and the
special  issue  is scheduled to appear in spring of 1989. Papers
should be sent to any of the special editors of the issue:
