This volume contains the proceedings of the International
Conference on Harmonic Analysis and Related Topics held at
Macquarie University, Sydney, from January 14-18, 2002. The
conference celebrated the many significant achievements and
contributions to mathematics of Professor Alan G. R. McIntosh,
on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. A large number of the
speakers were his mathematical proteges and co-authors, and
all expressed their gratitude to Alan for the way he had
influenced or nurtured their careers.
The conference brought together researchers working in harmonic
and functional analysis, linear and non-linear partial
differential equations, functional calculus and operator theory,
and included researchers from North America, Europe and Asia as
well as Australia.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of the contributors to
this volume and the sponsors of the conference, the Centre for
Mathematics and its Applications at ANU and the Department of
Mathematics and the Division of Information and Communication
Sciences at Macquarie University. Our thanks also go to Dr Chris
Wetherell for his editorial assistance in preparing this volume.
We especially thank Alan McIntosh for his participation. A short
synopsis of Alan's career, and a full list of his publications to
date are included in this volume.
Contributions for the proceedings were invited from all
participants. All papers received were carefully refereed by
peer referees.
