In this volume in the "Mathematics in Science and Engineering" series, contributors from North America, Europe and Japan present articles at the forefront of research in differential equational and mathematical physics. Topics covered include nonlinear differential and integral equations, semiclassical quantum mechanics, spectral and scattering theory, and symmetry analysis. This book should be of interest to researchers in nonlinear mathematics, partial differential equations and mathematical physics.
