LINEAR ALGEBRA AND ITS APPLICATIONS
Special issue on the JOINT SPECTRAL RADIUS
Call for papers
The joint spectral radius is a measure of the maximal growth of
products of matrices taken from a set. Fuelled by applications in many
areas there has been intensive research on this topic over the last
two decades. This special issue aims to highlight the advances that
have been achieved in recent times and to generate a state of the art
account of the developments in algebraic and analytic theory of the
joint spectral radius, computational aspects and application areas.
Theoretical developments in the area have used methods from diverse
mathematical fields. Computational complexity theory has been used to
show that in general the joint spectral radius is hard to
determine, while convex analysis lies at the foundation of many
results obtained on analytic properties, and methods from ergodic
theory can be used to characterize the continuous time version of the
joint spectral radius in the framework of stochastic dynamical systems.
In order to make the broad scope of methods visible we encourage
submissions from all areas that have an impact on the understanding of
the joint spectral radius ranging from matrix analysis, numerical
analysis, algebraic theory of matrix semigroups, computational
complexity theory, stability theory of switched linear systems,
spectral theory of semigroups of matrices.
We note that depending on the authors the joint spectral radius is
also known as the maximal Lyapunov exponent or Lyapunov indicator, the
Bohl exponent or the exponential growth rate and we encourage the
submission of papers that create links to fields where notions similar
to the joint spectral radius are studied, e.g. papers on continuous
time versions of the joint spectral radius and extensions to infinite
dimensions.
The joint spectral radius has found numerous applications in diverse
areas; e.g. it has been used in coding theory to express the capacity
of certain channels, in the stability analysis of consensus
algorithms, to quantify the smoothness of wavelets obtained via dilation
equations, in combinatorial number theory, in probability to analyze the
distributions of random power series, in stability analysis of
switched linear systems, in approximation theory to verify the
convergence of
subdivision algorithms,and in the theory of fractals and attractors.
We particularly invite papers that explore applications in these or
other areas.
All papers submitted must meet the publication standards of Linear
Algebra and its Applications and will be refereed in the usual way. They
should be
submitted to one of the special editors of this issue listed below by 31
August 2006. Submission via email by sending a ps or pdf file is
encouraged

Special Issue on
LINEAR AND NONLINEAR MODELS AND ALGORITHMS IN
INTENSITY-MODULATED RADIATION THERAPY (IMRT)
Call for Papers
Linear Algebra and its Applications (LAA) is pleased to announce a
special
issue on "Linear and Nonlinear Models and Algorithms in
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)".
IMRT is revolutionizing radiation therapy by putting at the disposal of
the medical profession powerful tools to deliver higher radiation doses
to tumors and lower radiation doses to critical organs in more accurate
ways.
The scientific effort is a multidisciplinary one in which radiation
oncologists, other medical specialists, medical physicists,
mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers collaborate to study
many outstanding problems in treatment planning and delivery. The goal
is to merge this expertise and discover IMRT solutions that can produce
meaningful benefits to patients and consistent results to practitioners.
In view of the ever-increasing role of mathematics, particularly linear
algebra, optimization theory, operations research, and other applied
branches in IMRT, we look forward to first-class original research
submissions on all relevant aspects of IMRT, including image-guided
radiation therapy (IGRT) which uses online imaging capabilities to
reduce uncertainties in organ localization and allows response to
changes in
treatment geometry over time.
We welcome papers for the special issue within the entire scope of IMRT;
topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Algorithm engineering
Aperture weight optimization
Automated structure delineation
Column-generation methods for large problem formulations
Dose-volume constraints handling
Gantry angle optimization
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
Large-scale matrix reduction and sparsing techniques
Mathematical programming and operations research methods in IMRT
Optimization of the segmentation process
Rigid and deformable registration
Sensitivity analysis for revised constraints or changed geometry
Sampling techniques over constrained volumes
Variance at risk methods for dose-volume modeling
The deadline for submission of papers is July 31, 2006. Papers should
be
sent to any one of the four special editors, listed below, preferably
PDF
files as attachments to e-mail, and will be subject to normal refereeing
procedures according to LAA standards. Go to:
