Download or read book The First 60 Years of Nonlinear Analysis of Jean Mawhin written by Manuel Delgado and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Jean Mawhin covers different aspects of the theory of differential equations and nonlinear analysis. On the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, a group of mathematicians gathered in Sevilla, Spain, in April 2003 to honor his mathematical achievements as well as his unique personality. This book provides an extraordinary view of a number of ground-breaking ideas and methods in nonlinear analysis and differential equations.
