Developments in Partial Differential Equations and Applications to Mathematical Physics / Edition 1

by G. Buttazzo, Giselle Galdi, L. Zanghirati

Overview

During the days 14-18 of October 1991, we had the pleasure of attending a most interesting Conference on New Developments in Partial Differential Equations and Applications to Mathematical Physics in Ferrarra. The Conference was organized within the Scientific Program celebrating the six hundredth birthday of the University of Ferrarra and, after the many stimulating lectures and fruitful discussions, we may certainly conclude, together with the numerous participants, that it has represented a big success. The Conference would not have been possible without the financial support of several sources. In this respect, we are particularly grateful to the Comitato Organizzatore del VI Centenario, the University of Ferrarra in the Office of the Rector, Professor Antonio Rossi, the Consiglio Nationale delle Ricerche, and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Ferrarra. We should like to thank all of the partlClpants and the speakers, and we are especially grateful to those who have contributed to the present volume. G. Buttazzo, University of Pisa G.P.

Editorial Reviews

Proceedings of an international meeting focusing on new developments in the subject area, held in Ferrara, Italy, in October 1991. Papers discussed Liapunov functionals and qualitative behavior of the solution to the nonlinear Enskog equation, discontinuous media and Dirichlet forms of the diffusion type, an abstract weakly hyperbolic equation modeling the nonlinear vibrating string, the relaxation of functionals defined on Cartesian manifolds, and Green's identities and pendent liquid drops.
