PRE F ACE This book presents results arising from several areas of the theory of functions and mathematical physics. The first of these sources, the theory of generalized analytic (pseudo-analytic) functions of L. Bers [a,b] and I.N. Vekua [a,b] has been constructed within the framework of a general interest in different generalizations of analyticity.

It was established that such

fundamental properties of analytic functions as the argument principle, the Liouville theorem and so on are inherent in solutions of all linear elliptic systems of first order with two unknown functions on the plane.

By quasiconformal mappings these systems can be reduced to

the complex Carleman-Bers-Vekua equation au

Later the theory of matrix equations (1) was built (W. Wendland [a]). These equations are extremely important for applications (see §12). At the same time on Riemann surfaces the Riemann boundary problem +

was studied (A. Grothendieck [a], W. Koppelman [b,c], Yu.L. Rodin [a,c,p], H. Rohrl [a,b] and other authors).

Main facts of the alge-

braic function theory were related with the theory of singular integral operators and the classification problem of vector bundles over Riemann surfaces.

Afterwards this theory found fundamental

physical applications (the Riemann problem method of V.E. Zakharov A.B. Shabat) in the inverse scattering problem, the integrable systems theory and the solitons theory.

At last, recently generalized

analytic functions were used in these areas too (see M.J. Ablowitz, D. Bar Yaacov, A.S. Fokas [a], A.S. Fokas, M.J. Ablowitz [a,b],I.M. Krichever, S.P. Novikov raj, A.V.

[a,b], V.E. Zakharov, S.V.

Manakov [a], V.E. Zakharov, A.V. Mikhailov [a]). These circumstance stimulated the study of generalized analytic functions on Riemann surfaces.

The work was begun by L. Bers [c]

and was continued by W. Koppel
