Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum (Acta Sci Math (Szeged), or Acta Szeged for short) celebrates the 100th anniversary of its foundation this year (the founders were Alfréd Haar and Frigyes Riesz). On this occasion, a special double issue will be published that consists of invited papers by distinguished researchers on Functional Analysis and Operator Theory who once published in the journal.
