This advance has been motivated by the intrinsic mathematical interest in such functions as well as their use in such applied areas as linear systems theory and signal processing. The high level of current activities in this subject is evident from the recent special issues of LAA on Linear Systems and Control (volume 50 and a forthcoming issue), the book Linear Algebra and its Role in Systems Theory(AMS Contemporary Mathematics series, volume 47), the volume on Matrix Pencils (Springer Lecture Notes in Mathematics, volume 973), a forthcoming issue of Operator Theory : Advances and Applications, and from the perusal of many mathematical and engineering journals. Contributions for this special issue are invited on any topic, theoretical or applied, in which matrix valued functions and their structure play a significant role. Besides linear systems theory and signal processing mentioned above, these topics include numerical analysis(in particular computation of structural invariants of matrix valued functions), function and operator theoretic aspects of matrix valued functions, and special classes of matrix valued functions. Papers on operator valued functions will be considered provided they have a finite dimensional flavor. Papers should meet the usual publication standards of LAA and will be refereed in the usual way. Both original research papers and survey articles are invited. The deadline for submission is July 1989 with expected publication in the summer or fall of 1990. Papers may be sent to any of the special editors of the issue: Professor Joseph A. Ball Professor Leiba Rodman Department of Mathematics Department of Mathematics Virginia Polytechnic Institute College of William and Mary Blacksburg, VA 24061 USA Williamsburg, VA 23185 USA Dr. Paul Van Dooren Philips Research Laboratory 2 Ave. van Becelaere B-1170 Brussels, Belgium ************************************************************************* Reposted by -- Kenneth R.
