Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Dynamical Systems

"Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Dynamical Systems" (NEEDS) provides a presentation of the state of the art. But for some exceptions, the contributions are intentionally brief to give only the gist of the methods, proofs, etc including references to the relevant literature. This gives an overview of current research activities. Hence, the book should be equally useful to the senior researcher as well as the colleague just entering the field. Topics treated include One- and multi-dimensional or integrable models, geometric and algebraic methods, quantum field theory, applications to nonlinear optics, condensed matter physics, oceanography, and many others. Further keywords include Hirota bilinearity, Hamiltonians, Toda lattice, multi-dimensional inverse scattering, bifurcations, dromions, polynomial solutions, Ermakov systems, computer algebra, symplectic operators, (quantum) superalgebras, groups and Ising models. This book of proceedings on nonlinear dynamics, theoretical physics, mathematical physics and applied mathematics is intended for researchers and students.
