Error estimates for the ESPRIT algorithm The universal algebra generated by a power partial isometry Norms condition numbers and pseudospectra of convolution type operators on intervals. Paired operators in asymmetric space setting Natural Boundary for a Sum Involving Toeplitz Determinants. A Riemann Hilbert Approach to Filter Design This book presents a collection of expository and research papers on various topics in matrix and operator theory contributed by several experts on the occasion of Albrecht Böttcher’s 60th birthday. Albrecht Böttcher himself has made substantial contributions to the subject in the past. The book also includes a biographical essay a complete bibliography of Albrecht Böttcher’s work and brief informal notes on personal encounters with him. The book is of interest to graduate and advanced undergraduate students majoring in mathematics researchers in matrix and operator theory as well as engineers and applied mathematicians
