description: Despite many advances, the equations remain only partial so far. Focusing on the modern theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and their applications, the 15 papers discuss such topics as turbulence, kinetic models of a rarified gas, vortex filaments, dispersive waves, singular limits and blow-up of solutions, conservation laws, and Hamiltonian systems. Of interest to graduate students and researchers in mathematics. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
