Nonlinear Analysis and Applications (Volume 109) (Lecture Notes in Pure and Applied Mathematics)

This book attempts to put together the works of a wide range of mathematical scientists. It consists of the proceedings of the Seventh Conference on "Nonlinear Analysis and Applications" including papers that were delivered as invited talks and research reports.

V. Lakshmikantham is Professor, and was Chairman of the Department of Mathematics (1973-1986), at The University of Texas at Arlington. He is founder and editor of the journal Nonlinear Analysis: Theory, Methods, and Applications, as well as coeditor (with G.S. Ladde) of the journal Stochastic Analysis and Applications (Marcel Dekker, Inc.). Dr. Lakshmikantham is also editor of Trends in Theory and Practice of Nonlinear Differential Equations, and coauthor (with G.S. Ladde andB.G. Zhang) of Oscillation Theory of Differential Equations with Deviating Arguments (both books, Marcel Dekker, Inc.). He is the author of several other books and associate editor of six journals. He has written over 200 research papers. He received the M.A. (1955) and Ph.D. (1957) degrees from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India.
