Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems - volume 64

This collection covers a wide range of topics of infinitedimensional dynamical systems generated by parabolic partial differentialequations, hyperbolic partial differential equations, solitary equations,lattice differential equations, delay differential equations, and stochasticdifferential equations.

Infinite dimensional dynamical systems are generated byevolutionary equations describing the evolutions in time of systems whosestatus must be depicted in infinite dimensional phase spaces.

Studying thelong-term behaviors of such systems is important in our understanding of theirspatiotemporal pattern formation and global continuation, and has been amongmajor sources of motivation and applications of new developments of nonlinearanalysis and other mathematical theories.

Theories of the infinite dimensionaldynamical systems have also found more and more important applications inphysical, chemical, and life sciences.

This book collects 19 papers from 48 invited lecturers tothe International Conference on Infinite Dimensional Dynamical Systems held atYork University, Toronto, in September of 2008.

As the conference was dedicatedto Professor George Sell from University of Minnesota on the occasion of his70th birthday, this collection reflects the pioneering work and influence ofProfessor Sell in a few core areas of dynamical systems, includingnon-autonomous dynamical systems, skew-product flows, invariant manifoldstheory, infinite dimensional dynamicalsystems, approximation dynamics, and fluid flows.
