Welcome to
the latest issue of the electronic journal
Journal of Inequalities in
Pure and Applied Mathematics (JIPAM)
Below we outline a few points worth noting:
-
JIPAM is a peer-reviewed international journal in
the theory of mathematical inequalities and their applications.
The editorial board is comprised of 56 internationally recognized researchers - many of which are world
leaders in the their field.
The journal was established by the VUT members of the Research Group
in Mathematical Inequalities and Applications (RGMIA).
The phenomenal success of the RGMIA convinced us that a journal like JIPAM could
succeed and indeed flourish.
-
JIPAM is an electronic publication of the School of
Communications and Informatics, Victoria University of
Technology. Some of the advantages of using the internet as the
publishing medium are:
-
quick publication. Our first call for
papers was in September, 1999 and in (less than) seven months, we were able to receive manuscripts, referee, typeset and
publish. Refereeing takes place in less than 100 working
days. A main aim of JIPAM is rapid dissemination of
results.
-
cost. Due to the low cost of electronic
publications, subscription rates (which will be free for this
year) can be kept to a minimum.
-
flexible medium. We can accept
longer review papers as we are not bound by page
restrictions. In addition, we further exploit the
electronic nature of the journal by offering two versions of each
article - one suitable for printing and another designed for
viewing on screen. See our PDF
page for more details.
-
To encourage submission of manuscripts of the
highest quality, JIPAM will offer an annual prize
to the best article.
-
This web site has been designed to be stable and
quick loading. There is no Java or Javascript technology
employed and each page is less than 100k in size. Once the top
and side images are loaded, navigation should be quick and easy.
For best viewing we recommend a resolution of at least 800x600 with
256 or more colours.
Finally, we hope you enjoy reading the articles
in this issue and we ask that you keep JIPAM in mind when
considering your next publication.
