Subject: Report on AMADE-2001

International Conference "Analytical Methods of Analysis and Differential
Equations" (AMADE-2001), Minsk, Belarus, February 15-19, 2001

The international conference "Analytical Methods of Analysis and
Differential Equations" (AMADE-2001) took place February 15-19, 2001 in
Minsk, Belarus. It continues the series of the international conferences
"Boundary Value Problems, Special Functions and Fractional Calculus"
devoted to the 90th birthday of academician F.D.Gakhov (Minsk, Belarus,
February 15-20, 1996), and "Analytical Methods of Analysis and
Differential Equations" (AMADE) (Minsk, Belarus, September 14-18, 1999).
AMADE-2001 was organized by the Belarusian State University, the
Belarusian National Academy of Sciences together with Moscow State
University. It was held at the Olympic Sport Center "Staiki" which is
situated 10 km from Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

262 mathematicians from 21 countries confirmed their interest in the
Conference. Abstracts of their reports were published in "Abstracts of
AMADE-2001". 138 scientists from Algeria, Belarus, France, Germany, Great
Britain, Italy, Kasakhstan, Kuwait, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Russia,
Ukraine and Yugoslavia took part in AMADE-2001.

The work of the conference was divided into four sections:

1. Integral transforms and special functions.

2. Differential equations and applications.

3. Integral, difference, functional equations and fractional calculus.

4. Real and complex analysis.

There were 20 plenary invited lectures and 124 sectional talks devoted to
different problems of analysis and differential equations.

and singular integral equations. His former students and successors gave
talks.

Participants remarked on the high scientific level of the conference.

Journal "Proceedings of Institute of Mathematics" of the Belarusian
National Academy of Sciences.  Some of the reports were recommended for
publication in the Journal "Integral Transforms and Special Functions".
