Variational and Topological Methods in the Study of Nonlinear Phenomena

Covers recent advances in the field of nonlinear functional analysis and its applications to nonlinear pdes and odes, with particular emphasis on variational and topological methods. Topics covered include: concentration phenomena in pdes, variational methods with applications to pdes and physics, periodic solutions of odes, computational aspects in topological methods * mathematical models in biology. Unique to the work are several chapters on computational aspects and applications to biology. Excellent reference text for researchers and graduate students in nonlinear analysis.
