Författare: Marinus A. Kaashoek

M arinus A. Kaashoek is a Dutch mathematician, and Emeritus Professor Analysis and Operator Theory at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Kaashoek’s research interests are in the field of Analysis and Operator Theory, and various connections between Operator Theory, Matrix Theory and Mathematical Systems Theory. In particular, Wiener–Hopf integral equations and Toeplitz operators, their nonstationary variants, and other structured operators, such as continuous operator analogs of Bezout and resultant matrices. State space methods for problems in analysis are shown to be useful. Also metric constrained interpolation problems and completion problems for partially given operators, including relaxed commutant lifting problems,  are proved to be solvable. Sjoerd M. Verduyn Lunel is Professor of Applied Analysis at Utrecht University. He held positions at Brown University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Leiden University. His research interests are at the interface of Analysis and infinite dimensional Dynamical Systems Theory with focus on the theory of Functional Differential Equations. He was co-Editor-in-Chief of Integral Equations and Operator Theory (2000-2009) and is currently associate editor of SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis and of Integral Equations and Operator Theory. In 2012 he was elected member of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities and in 2014 he was appointed honorary member of the Indonesian Mathematical Society.
