Catania (Sicily) is one of the most interesting cities from an archaeological, historical and artistic point of view with immense natural beauties. For more information please see http://www.fit.edu/AcadRes/math/wcna/wcna2000.htm The organizers of this conference requested Professor Cornelis V. Van der Mee and myself to organize a special session of 45 minutes talks on Inverse Problems in Partial Differential Equations. Please inform us by e-mail cornelis@krein.unica.it or kedziera@uno.geneseo.cc.edu if you interested in participation in this special session or receiving printed information about the conference. With Best Regards, Andrzej Kedzierawski ------------------------------ From: "Professor Yagola" Subject: new monograph Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 Dear colleagues, I am very pleased to introduce our new monograph: I.V. Kochikov, G.M. Kuramshina, Yu.A. Pentin and A.G.Yagola "Inverse Problems of Vibrational Spectroscopy" published by VSP in Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems Series. The aim of this new volume in the Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems Series is to provide a consistent mathematical and physical treatment of empirical data processing in vibrational spectroscopy, based on the modern theory of nonlinear ill-posed problems. The volume not only contains a clear and concise description of the foundation of the theory but also deals with applications of this theory. The straightforward mathematical formulation of model constraints as well as the use of various experimental data form the main issues in this book. Ab initio methods are briefly discussed, since these are likely to provide a good starting point for subsequent empirical data fitting. The data processing methods developed in this book provide empirical force fields which are compatible with experimental data as well as with certain model assumptions. Numerical methods and results of applications to different statements of inverse problems of spectroscopy are also given. This book will be of interest to specialists in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering who work with data processing in vibrational spectroscopy and/or the theory of ill-posed problems. 1999; x+298 pages ISBN 90-6764-304-1 Price: DM 260/US$ 155/GBÇ 97 VSP, P.O.
