Simos Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2005 17:39:14 +0300 Special Issue of MATCH Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE ON NUMERICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY Guest Editors: T.E. Simos and Ch. Tsitouras INTRODUCTION Numerical methods have played an important role in the numerical solution of many problems in chemistry over the last few decades. The development of numerical methods has allowed the efficient solutions of problems such as: ab initio molecular mechanics and molecular structure; molecular scattering; determination of eigenvalues (bound states), resonances, phase shifts, etc. and the solution of differential equations such as the Schrodinger equation; molecular conformations; electron correlation in atoms and molecules, etc. MATCH, Communications in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry, An International Journal, will publish special issue to the above important topic. Guest Editors of this issue have defined to be: Prof. T.E. Simos (University of Peloponnese) and Dr Ch. Tsitouras (TEI of Chalkis). Contribution papers are invited for consideration for publication in the above special issue. Topics of the issue include, but no limited to analysis of numerical methods, numerical methods for differential equations, numerical linear algebra, numerical approximation, numerical integration, numerical differentiation and any other aspect of numerical analysis. Emphasis must be given to applications of the developed and/or investigated methods to real problems of Chemistry. Both review or research papers are encouraged.
