Special issue in honour of Vladimir S. Rabinovich.

Lutsky in 2008 and 2009, where they investigated the invertibility of parabolic pseudo-differential operators with rapidly growing symbols and obtained estimates of exponential behaviour of solutions of pseudo-differential operators with growing and discontinuous symbols. During several years which followed the defense of the PhD thesis there appeared Vladimir's publications presenting interesting results for quasi-elliptic pseudodifferential operators and on solvability of Cauchy and Goursat problems for parabolic pseudodifferential equations (1971-1979 and later on), on solvability difference-differential equations (1978-1985 and later on), on Fredholmness of elliptic pseudodifferential operators and associated boundary value problems on noncompact manifolds (papers of 1971-1979). In 1993 he defended his doctoral thesis "The method of limit operators in solvability of pseudo-differential equations and convolution equations". [Extracted from the article]
