The second part of an elementary textbook which combines linear functional analysis, nonlinear functional analysis, and their substantial applications.  Meer

During the fifties, one of the authors, G. Stampacchia, had prepared some lecture notes on ordinary differential equations for a course in ad­ analysis.  Meer

Hysteresis is an exciting and mathematically challenging phenomenon that oc­ curs in rather different situations: jt, can be a byproduct offundamental physical mechanisms (such as phase transitions) or the consequence of a degradation or imperfection (like the play in a mechanical system), or it is built deliberately into a system in order to monitor its behaviour, as in the case of the heat control via thermostats.  Meer

Abstract semilinear functional differential equations arise from many biological, chemical, and physical systems which are characterized by both spatial and temporal variables and exhibit various spatio-temporal patterns.  Meer

The first monograph to treat topological, group-theoretic, and geometric problems of ideal hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics from a unified point of view.  Meer

Devoted to local and global analysis of weakly connected systems with applications to neurosciences, this book uses bifurcation theory and canonical models as the major tools of analysis.  Meer

This self-contained book offers a new and direct approach to the theories of special functions with emphasis on spherical symmetry in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimensions.  Meer

State-of-the-art in qualitative theory of functional differential equations; Most of the new material has never appeared in book form and some not...  Meer

Turbulence is the lIDst natural nDde of fluid lIDtion, and has been the subject of scientific study for all!Dst a century. During this period, various ideas and techniques have evolved to nDdel turbulence.  Meer

This book gives a systematic investigation of convection in systems comprised of liquid layers with deformatable interfaces. This new edition includes completely updated and new material on flows in ultra thin films and brings up to date progress made in the technology on micro and nano scales.  Meer

This monograph is a collective work. The names appear­ ing on the front cover are those of the people who worked on every chapter. But the contributions of others were also very important: C.  Meer

A comprehensive description of the current theoretical and numerical aspects of inverse problems in partial differential equations. Applications include recovery of inclusions from anomalies of their gravity fields, reconstruction of the interior of the human body from exterior electrical, ultrasonic, and magnetic measurement.  Meer

The scattering of acoustic and electromagnetic waves by periodic sur­ faces plays a role in many areas of applied physics and engineering. Opti­ cal diffraction gratings date from the nineteenth century and are still widely used by spectroscopists.  Meer

From the reviews: "A good introduction to a subject important for its capacity to circumvent theoretical and practical obstacles, and therefore particularly prized in the applications of mathematics.  Meer

An up-to-date and unified treatment of bifurcation theory for variational inequalities in reflexive spaces and the use of the theory in a variety of applications, such as: obstacle problems from elasticity theory, unilateral problems; torsion problems; equations from fluid mechanics and quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations.  Meer

This book deals with optimality conditions, algorithms, and discretization tech­ niques for nonlinear programming, semi-infinite optimization, and optimal con­ trol problems.  Meer

Very hot area with a wide range of applications; Gives complete numerical analysis and recipes, which will enable readers to quickly apply the...  Meer

Of interest to everybody working on perturbation theory in differential equations, this book requires only a standard mathematical background in engineering and does not require reference to the special literature.  Meer

Homology is a powerful tool used by mathematicians to study the properties of spaces and maps that are insensitive to small perturbations. This book uses a computer to develop a combinatorial computational approach to the subject.  Meer

This book treats nonlinear dynamics in both Hamiltonian and dissipative systems. The emphasis is on the mechanics for generating chaotic motion, methods of calculating the transitions from regular to chaotic motion, and the dynamical and statistical properties of the dynamics when it is chaotic.  Meer
