Large Truncated Toeplitz Matrices, Toeplitz Operators, and Related Topics, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017 The Albrecht Böttcher Anniversary Volume Operator Theory: Advances and Applications Series, Vol. 259

This book presents a collection of expository and research papers on various topics in matrix and operator theory, contributed by several experts on the occasion of Albrecht Böttcher?s 60th birthday. Albrecht Böttcher himself has made substantial contributions to the subject in the past. The book also includes a biographical essay, a complete bibliography of Albrecht Böttcher?s work and brief informal notes on personal encounters with him.

The book is of interest to graduate and advanced undergraduate students majoring in mathematics, researchers in matrix and operator theory as well as engineers and applied mathematicians.
