Recent Developments In Evolution Equations

This book presents the majority of talks given at an International Converence held recently at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The works presented focus on the analysis of mathematical models of systems evolving with time. The main topics are semigroups and related subjects connected with applications to partial differential equations of evolution type. Topics of particular interest include spectral and asymptotic properties of semigroups, B evolution scattering theory, and coagulation fragmentation phenomena.

The international conference on which the book is based brought together many of the world's leading experts, with particular effort on the interaction between established scientists and emerging young promising researchers, as well as on the interaction of pure and applied mathematics. All material has been rigorously refereed. The contributions contain much material developed after the conference, continuing research and incorporating additional new results and improvements. In addition, some up-to-date surveys are included.

The First Pan-China Conference on Differential Equations was held in Kunming, China in June of 1997. Researchers from around the world attended-including representatives from the US, Canada, and the Netherlands-but the majority of the speakers hailed from China and Hong Kong. This volume contains the plenary lectures and invited talks presented at that conference, and provides an excellent view of the research on differential equations being carried out in China. Most of the subjects addressed arose from actual applications and cover ordinary and partial differential equations. Topics include:

This volume presents a collection of lectures on linear partial differntial equations and semigroups, nonlinear equations, stochastic evolutionary processes, and evolution problems from physics, engineering and mathematical biology. The contributions come from the 6th International Conference on Evolution Equations and Their Applications in Physica

This volume features recent development and techniques in evolution equations by renown experts in the field. Each contribution emphasizes the relevance and depth of this important area of mathematics and its expanding reach into the physical, biological, social, and computational sciences as well as into engineering and technology. The reader will find an accessible summary of a wide range of active research topics, along with exciting new results. Topics include: Impulsive implicit Caputo fractional q-difference equations in finite and infinite dimensional Banach spaces; optimal control of averaged state of a population dynamic model; structural stability of nonlinear elliptic p(u)-Laplacian problem with Robin-type boundary condition; exponential dichotomy and partial neutral functional differential equations, stable and center-stable manifolds of admissible class; global attractor in Alpha-norm for some partial functional differential equations of neutral and retarded type; and more. Researchers in mathematical sciences, biosciences, computational sciences and related fields, will benefit from the rich and useful resources provided. Upper undergraduate and graduate students may be inspired to contribute to this active and stimulating field.

Based on the Third International Workshop Conference on Evolution Equations, Control Theory and Biomathematics, held in Hans-sur-Lesse, Belgium. The papers examine important advances in evolution equations related to physical, engineering and biological applications.

This book discusses recent trends and developments in the area of nonlinear evolution equations. It is a collection of invited lectures on the following topics: nonlinear parabolic equations (systems); nonlinear hyperbolic systems; free boundary problems; conservation laws and shock waves; travelling and solitary waves; regularity, stability and singularity, etc.
