Here, the authors present modern methods of analysis for nonlinear
systems which may occur in fields such as physics, chemistry, biology,
or economics. They concentrate on the following topics, specific for
such systems:
(a) constructive existence results and regularity theorems for all
weak solutions;
(b) convergence results for solutions and their approximations;
(c) uniform global behavior of solutions in time; and
(d) pointwise behavior of solutions for autonomous problems with
possible gaps by the phase variables. The general methodology for the
investigation of dissipative dynamical systems with several applications
including nonlinear parabolic equations of divergent form, nonlinear
stochastic equations of parabolic type, unilateral problems, nonlinear
PDEs on Riemannian manifolds with or without boundary, contact problems
as well as particular examples is established. As such, the book is
addressed to a wide circle of mathematical, mechanical and engineering
readers.
