Pub 2014-05-01 439 English World Publishing Company Many nonlinear analysis problems have their roots in geometry. astronomy. fluid and elastic mechanics. physics. chemistry. biology. control theory. image processing and economics . The theories and methods in nonlinear analysis stem from many areas of Ordinary drfferential equations. partial differential equations. the calculus of variations. dynamical systems. differential geometry. Lie groups. algebraic topology. linear and nonlinear functional analysis. measure theory. harmonic analysis. convex analysis. game theory. optimization theory. etc. Amidst solving these problems. many branches are intertwined. thereby advancing each other. The book is the result of many years of revision of the authors lecture notes. Some of the more involved sections were originally used in semina...
