Author Description

Originally presented at a June 1989 conference in Taipei, Taiwan, 23 papers survey the literature and report findings from original work on nonlinear analysis, a mathematical technique widely used in the physical and biological sciences. They focus on nonlinear partial differential equations and the calculus of variations. Among the topics are kinetic theory and fluids, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and geometry, reaction-diffusion equations and the life sciences, optimization, and nonlinear functional analysis.
