These are the proceedings of the international conference on
"Nonlinear numerical methods and Rational approximation II"
organised by Annie Cuyt at the University of Antwerp (Belgium),
05-11 September 1993. It was held for the third time in Antwerp at
the conference center of UIA, after successful meetings in 1979 and
1987 and an almost yearly tradition since the early 70's. The
following figures illustrate the growing number of participants and
their geographical dissemination. In 1993 the Belgian scientific
committee consisted of A. Bultheel (Leuven), A. Cuyt (Antwerp), J.
Meinguet (Louvain-Ia-Neuve) and J.-P. Thiran (Namur). The
conference focused on the use of rational functions in different
fields of Numer ical Analysis. The invited speakers discussed
"Orthogonal polynomials" (D. S. Lu binsky), "Rational
interpolation" (M. Gutknecht), "Rational approximation" (E. B.
Saff), "Pade approximation" (A. Gonchar) and "Continued fractions"
(W. B. Jones). In contributed talks multivariate and
multidimensional problems, applications and implementations of each
main topic were considered. To each of the five main topics a
separate conference day was devoted and a separate proceedings
chapter compiled accordingly. In this way the proceedings reflect
the organisation of the talks at the conference. Nonlinear
numerical methods and rational approximation may be a nar row field
for the outside world, but it provides a vast playground for the
chosen ones. It can fascinate specialists from Moscow to
South-Africa, from Boulder in Colorado and from sunny Florida to
Zurich in Switzerland."
Approach your problems from the right end It isn't that they can't
see the solution. It is and begin with the answers. Then one day,
that they can't see the problem. perhaps you will find the final
question. G. K. Chesterton. The Scandal of Father 'The Hermit Clad
in Crane Feathers' in R. Brown 'The point of a Pin'. van Gu ik's
The Chinese Maze Murders. Growing specialization and
diversification have brought a host of monographs and textbooks on
increasingly specialized topics. However, the "tree" of knowledge
of mathematics and related fields does not grow only by putting
forth new branches. It also happens, quite often in fact, that
branches which were thought to be completely disparate are suddenly
seen to be related. Further, the kind and level of sophistication
of mathematics applied in various sciences has changed drastically
in recent years: measure theory is used (non-trivially) in regional
and theoretical economics; algebraic geometry interacts with
physics; the Minkowsky lemma, coding theory and the structure of
water meet one another in packing and covering theory; quantum
fields, crystal defects and mathematical programming profit from
homotopy theory; Lie algebras are relevant to filtering; use Stein
spaces. And in addition to this there are and prediction and
electrical engineering can such new emerging subdisciplines as
"experimental mathematics," "CFD," "completely integrable systems,"
"chaos, synergetics and large-scale order," which are almost
impossible to fit into the existing classification schemes. They
draw upon widely different sections of mathematics.
