Contains lectures delivered at a workshop held at the Center for Mathematics Research at the University of Montreal, Canada, which brought together researchers working in nonlinear partial differential equations and on renormalization group methods. Specific topics include the effect of distribution in space in Ostwald ripening, mathematical problems in the control of underactuated systems, axially and helically symmetric global plasma equilibria, and the complete ionization of a periodically perturbed quantum system. Other subjects are renormalization in radiation reaction, and quantum tunneling at positive temperatures. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
