In September 1998, during the 'International Workshop on Analysis and Vibrat ing Systems' held in Canmore, Alberta, Canada, it was decided by a group of participants to honour Peter Lancaster on the occasion of his 70th birthday with a volume in the series 'Operator Theory: Advances and Applications'. Friends and colleagues responded enthusiastically to this proposal and within a short time we put together the volume which is now presented to the reader. Regarding accep tance of papers we followed the usual rules of the journal 'Integral Equations and Operator Theory'. The papers are dedicated to different problems in matrix and operator theory, especially to the areas in which Peter contributed so richly. At our request, Peter agreed to write an autobiographical paper, which appears at the beginning of the volume. It continues with the list of Peter's publications. We believe that this volume will pay tribute to Peter on his outstanding achievements in different areas of mathematics. 1. Gohberg, H.

I had two older brothers and was to have one younger sister. My family moved around the north of England as my father's work in an insurance company required.

Linear Operators and Matrices

Jussi Behrndt

Karl-Heinz Förster

Carsten Trunk

Contains a collection of research papers originating from the 6th Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein Spaces and Operator Polynomials, which was held at the TU Berlin, Germany, December 14 to 17. This work discusses topics such as linear relations, singular perturbations, de Branges spaces, nonnegative matrices, and abstract kinetic equations.

Modern Analysis and Applications

Peter Jonas

This volume contains contributions written by participants of the 4th Workshop on Operator Theory in Krein Spaces and Applications, held at the TU Berlin, Germany, December 17 to 19, 2004. The workshop covered topics from spectral, perturbation, and extension theory of linear operators and relations in inner product spaces.
