Applied Nonlinear Analysis

This collection celebrates the contributions of Professor Jindrich Necas, featuring diverse research on nonlinear analysis and its applications.

The proceedings of an international workshop held from December 13-17, 1999, in Olomouc, Czech Republic, commemorate the 70th birthday of Professor Jindrich Necas. This collection serves as a tribute to his remarkable contributions to the field of mathematics. Featuring refereed contributions from sixty-one mathematicians across eleven countries, the book covers a wide range of research areas that reflect Professor Necas's work, including Navier-Stokes equations, nonlinear elasticity, non-Newtonian fluids, and the regularity of solutions to parabolic and elliptic problems.

Applied Nonlinear Analysis not only highlights significant advancements in operator theory and numerical methods but also emphasizes the collaborative spirit of the mathematics community. The realization of this book was made possible through the generous support of the Centro de Matemática Aplicada (CMA/IST) and the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. Special acknowledgments are given to Dr. Ulrych for his meticulous preparation of the manuscript and to Dr. [Name] for her invaluable assistance throughout the project, showcasing the dedication and love for her father that contributed to the book's success.

This collection stands as a testament to Professor Necas's influence in the realms of partial differential equations and nonlinear functional analysis, as well as their applications in continuum mechanics and hydrodynamics. Readers will find a rich source of knowledge and inspiration, reflecting the collaborative efforts of esteemed mathematicians dedicated to advancing these critical fields of study.
