Description: This collection of papers resulted from the conference on nonlinear diffusion held at the University of Houston in 1976, under the auspices of the NSF-CBMS regional conference programme. Taken together, the papers provide a comprehensive and up-to-date report on new developments in the theory and application of nonlinear diffusion equations. Written by leading researchers in the field, the contributions span a large variety of subjects with particular emphasis on applications and the phenomenological approach of modern applied mathematics. Researchers in the fields of partial and ordinary differential equations, as well as workers in such diverse areas as biology, chemistry, engineering and medicine, should find this volume of value to their research.
