Applied Analysis: Proceedings of a Conference on Applied Analysis, April 19-21, 1996, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This volume contains proceedings from the AMS conference on Applied Analysis held at LSU (Baton Rouge) in April 1996. Topics include partial differential equations, spectral theory, functional analysis and operator theory, complex analysis, numerical analysis and related mathematics. Applications include quantum theory, fluid dynamics, control theory and abstract issues, such as well-posedness, asymptotics, and more. The book presents the scope and depth of the conference and its lectures. The state-of-the-art surveys by Jerry Bona and Fritz Gesztesy contain topics of wide interest. There have been a number of good conferences on related topics, yet this volume offers readers a unique, varied viewpoint. The scope of the material in the book will benefit readers approaching the work from diverse perspectives. It will serve those seeking motivational scientific problems, those interested in techniques and subspecialties and those looking for current results in the field
