Aim

Algebraic and symbolic computation have been highly developed during the last 20 years. Nevertheless, traditional analysis still doesn't make sophisticated use of it. In order to stimulate the interaction between Computer Algebra and Analysis the editors organized a special session Computer Algebra and Computer Analysis on the 3rd International ISAAC Congress, Berlin, 20-25 August 2001.

This special issue is open for everybody, but in particular the contributors of the special session mentioned are encouraged to contribute their papers.

The objective of this special issue is to support research in the interaction of computer algebra and its applications in analysis. In particular, methods applicable to differential equations are appreciated.

Scope

Contributions should discuss the use of algebraic methods and symbolic computation with application to differential equations and/or other aspects of analysis. Appropriate papers must have an algorithmic aspect with symbolic computation in order to adhere to the scope of the journal. Possible topics, within this scope, include but are not limited to:

• Lie symmetry analysis of partial differential equations
• Differential Galois theory
• Non-commutative Gröbner bases, Janet bases
• Involutive bases
• Use of Gröbner bases in dynamical systems and bifurcation theory
• Algebraic techniques in Analysis
• Computer algebra for analytical questions in Physics

Submission Guidelines

Papers must be submitted to the managing guest editor Wolfram Koepf (see address below). Instructions for preparation of a manuscript for JSC and Latex style files may be found at http://www.academicpress.com/www/journal/TeX-uk/LaTeXFP.htm.

Although there is no restriction on length, we prefer shorter papers (20 pages or less) to longer ones, for the sake of greater diversity and more thorough reviewing. Authors are therefore encouraged to be as concise as possible.

Electronic submissions are encouraged, and may be sent by email, preferably as attachment. The message should contain (i) the abstract in ASCII and (ii) the whole paper in Postscript, or the LaTeX source. Authors who cannot meet these requirements should contact the managing guest editor.

All submitted papers will be refereed according to the usual JSC refereeing process.

To aid planning and organization, we would appreciate an email or a letter of intent to submit a paper (including author information, a tentative title and abstract, and an estimated number of pages) as early as possible.
