A wide spectrum of topics in modern analysis is covered by the fully refereed contributions, such as complex analysis, non-linear analysis, inverse problems, wavelets, signals and images. In particular, important areas - not given special emphasis in previous meetings - include special functions and orthogonal polynomials, harmonic analysis, and partial differential equations.
