International Conference on
Applied Mathematics
and Approximation Theory

October 11-13, 2008
The University of Memphis

This conference intends to bring together researchers from ALL areas of Applied Mathematics
and Approximation Theory, such as ODEs, PDEs, Applied Analysis, Computational Analysis,
Signal Theory, and including traditional subfields of Approximation Theory as well as underfocused
areas such as Positive Operators, Statistical Approximation, and Fuzzy Approximation. Other topics
will also be included in this conference, such as Fractional Analysis, Semigroups, Inequalties,
Special Functions, and Summability.

Previous conferences which had a similar approach to such diverse inclusiveness were held at the
University of Memphis in March 1991, at the University of California at Santa Barbara in May 1993
(co-organized with S. T. Rachev), again at Memphis in March 1997 (AMS special session), and at the
University of Central Florida (at Orlando) in November 2002 (another AMS special session). Each of
these conferences were followed up in proceedings publications by top publishers and in articles
printed in major international journals.

The conference will feature fourteen one-hour survey lectures on topics of special current interest,
including (but not limited to) wavelets and frames, abstract and classical approximation, nonlinear
approximation, multivariate splines, mathematical signal processing, semigroups, PDEs, fractional
analysis, special functions, combinatorial analysis, and inequalities.

We invite you to contribute a talk in any area of applied mathematics and approximation theory.
The expected duration of contributed talks is 25 minutes, and the deadline for submitting an abstract
is September 15, 2008. We plan to publish presented articles in special issues of the Journal of Concrete
and Applicable Analysis. All articles will be refereed, and electronic copies will be made available.
