This document provides the guidelines for preparing papers for 2018 
International Symposium on Nonlinear Theory and its Applications 
(NOLTA2018). Please read carefully and follow the guidelines as 
closely as possible in order to produce high-quality proceedings 
with common formatting for all papers.

\section{Introduction}
Authors are kindly invited to submit papers describing original works 
in all aspects of nonlinear theory and its applications to NOLTA2018. 
Please prepare your paper according to the guidelines and submit via 
NOLTA2018 web site not later than {\bf Feb.~1, 2018}. 
{\bf Only electronic submission of papers in PDF format is accepted.} 
After review, each corresponding author will be requested to submit 
the {\bf four page} final camera-ready paper in PDF format for the 
symposium proceedings not later than {\bf May~1, 2018}. 


\section{Preparation of Papers}
\subsection{Paper Format}
Please prepare your paper in {\bf A4} format (210mm by 297mm). 
Set the top margin to 30mm with the exception of the first page 
that begins 35mm from the top edge. Set the bottom margin to 30mm and 
the left and right margin to 20mm. Text, figures, tables and 
references must be contained in a 170mm by 237mm area. 
All text must be in a two-column format with 5mm column separation. 
The paper should not exceed {\bf four pages} in length. 
Please do not put page numbers on your paper.

\subsection{Typesetting}
Text should be written with a font size of 10pt unless otherwise 
specified. Times New Roman font is recommended for consistency 
and readability both on screen and in print. {\bf Please do not use 
Asian fonts} as this will make your manuscript unreadable for reviewers. 

\subsection{Title, Authors and Affiliations}
The title of the paper appears on the first page, centered over
both columns and is set in 14pt bold letters. The author names 
appear below the title in 12pt. The affiliations should be given
below the author names in 10pt and contain full mailing address
and email address.

\subsection{Abstract}
The paper should start with an abstract giving a short overview on 
the discussed matter and the presented results. 

\subsection{Section Headings}
\subsubsection{Typesetting}
Section and subsection headings should appear in 10pt bold face, while
subsubsection headings in 10pt italic face. 
The first letter of each major word must be capitalized.

\subsubsection{Alignment}
All the headings should be
aligned left. 

\subsubsection{Numbering}

Section, subsection and subsubsection headings should be numbered with
Arabic numerals. 

\subsection{Equations}
Equations are centered and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals 
in parentheses as follows:  
\begin{equation}
 f(x)=\frac{a x + b}{x^2+ \alpha x + \beta}
\end{equation}

\subsection{References}
A list of references should appear at the end of the paper. Number 
all references consecutively with Arabic numerals in square brackets. 
When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference 
number in square brackets as~\cite{REF}. 

\subsection{\LaTeX Style File and MS Word Template}
For the convenience of \LaTeX users, we provide a \LaTeX style file 
({\tt nolta2018.sty}) that automatically formats the manuscript 
in accordance with the symposium requirements. A \LaTeX sample source 
file ({\tt nolta2018.tex}) will show how to use the style 
file. We also provide a Microsoft Word template ({\tt nolta2018.doc})  
and a sample paper in PDF format ({\tt nolta2018.pdf}). All of these 
files are available at NOLTA2018 web site:  
\begin{center}

\end{center} 


\section{Creating PDF files}
\subsection{Software}
As mentioned above, only electronic submission of papers in PDF 
format is accepted. There are several methods for creating PDF files:
Adobe Distiller, PDFWriter, ps2pdf, dvipdfm, pdflatex, and so on. 
Generally Adobe Distiller provides higher quality output than others, 
and is therefore preferred. 

\subsection{Embedding Fonts}
{\bf All fonts must be embedded} into the PDF file of your paper 
including the following standard 14 fonts:  
\begin{itemize}
\item Courier
\item Courier, Italic
\item Courier, Bold
\item Courier, Bold Italic
\item Arial MT
\item Arial MT, Italic
\item Arial MT, Bold
\item Arial MT, Bold Italic
\item Times New Roman PS MT
\item Times New Roman PS MT, Italic
\item Times New Roman PS MT, Bold
\item Times New Roman PS MT, Bold Italic
\item Symbol
\item ZapfDingbats
\end{itemize}
that come with Acrobat Reader, so that the file can be viewed 
correctly on any computer. The method of embedding fonts is 
different on various systems and PDF creation mechanisms; for example, 
in Adobe Disitller, choose Job Options and check Embed All Fonts. 
For authors using other software, please refer to your own help sources. 
 
Before submission, {\bf please make sure that all fonts are embedded into 
the PDF file you have created.} To view the font information for a PDF, 
open the file in an Acrobat Reader, go to the File menu, select Document 
Info, and then Fonts. The Font Info dialog box displays font
information. If Used Font column is set to Embedded or Embedded Subset, 
it means that the font is correctly embedded. 

\subsection{File Protection}
{\bf Please do neither password protect nor encrypt your PDF file} so 
that we can insert headings and page numbers. 

\section{Submission of Papers}
\subsection{How to Submit}
To submit your electronic manuscript, please visit 
the Submission page and follow the given instructions. 
% {\bf Please note that paper submission will be open 
% on September 15, 2018.}

\subsection{File Size}
{\bf File size is strictly limited to 3\,MB.} Any file with the size 
bigger than 3 MB will be automatically rejected by the NOLTA2018 online 
submission system.
