The Research Group in Mathematical Inequalities and Applications (RGMIA)
was founded in September 1998 and was based at Victoria University up until
2009. The group is lead by N. S. Barnett, P. Cerone, S.S. Dragomir
(Chair) and A. Sofo and now boasts over 1300 members worldwide.
Within months of its initiation, the RGMIA began its own electronic
technical reports series, 'RGMIA Research Report Collection' (RRC),
see reports.php) . As a result, the latest
research in inequalities and their applications is made readily available to
members in a timely fashion. Volumes 1 to 10 were printed and exchanged with
other journals.
After one year of fruitful experience with RGMIA and its RRC which is
recognised by, and present in many international databases on the internet,
we started an international, peer refereed electronic journal, "Journal
of Inequalities in Pure and Applied Mathematics" (JIPAM) (see
http://jipam.vu.edu.au). This journal
aims to foster and develop further growth in all areas of mathematics
relating to inequalities. The journal accepts high quality papers containing
original research results, survey articles of exceptional merit, short
letters and notes. The editorial board (see
http://jipam.vu.edu.au/editors.php) is comprised of 76 internationally
recognized researchers - many of whom are world leaders in their own fields.
JIPAM is reviewed by the Mathematical Reviews of the American Mathematical
Society (see
http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/) and by the corresponding European
publication and database Zentralblatt MATH (see
http://www.zentralblatt-math.org/zmath/en/). It is mirrored on the
European Mathematical Information Service (see
http://www.emis.de/journals/) and
covered by Scopus (see
http://info.scopus.com/detail/what/), which is the largest abstract and
citation database in the world.
RGMIA research work has been acknowledged in the History book on
Australian Mathematics authored by Professor G. Cohen, "Counting
Australia in, the People, Organisations and Institutions of Australian
Mathematics", Halsted Press, Sydney, 2007 (see p. 306, where the picture
of the group at the launch of JIPAM in November 2000, "The Australian",
is reproduced). The research contribution of the group in Mathematical
Analysis is also recognized in the document "Mathematics & Statistics:
Critical Skills for Australia's Future, the National Strategic Review of
Mathematical Sciences research in Australia", conducted by a working
party appointed by the National Committee for the Australian Academy of
Science (see page 46,
