Report on the Dublin Matrix Theory Conference, March 1984 (Q1066226)

A short conference on matrix theory and its applications was held in University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, on 22-24 March 1984. The conference was sponsored by the Department of Mathematics at UCD and the Symposium Fund of the Royal Irish Academy. About 35 persons attended. The program dealt with: Matrices over finite fields, Right-left symmetry in semisimple algebras, Factorization of matrices as products of skew- symmetrics, Computation of an immanant, Reinhardt decompositions of operator matrix spaces, Hermitian forms and von Neumann regular matrices, The recursion method - a matrix technique in solid-state physics, Grassmann matrices, Counterparts of Hankel and Toeplitz operators on \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\), Some properties of unitary matrices, Sparse matrices, The algebraic Riccati equation.
