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: Paul A. Fuhrmann Department of Mathematics Ben Gurion University of the Negev Beer Sheva, Israel Professor H.
