Nonlinear Analysis and Applications : To V. Lakshmikantham on His 80th Birthday

Dedicated to Professor V Lakshmikantham on his 80th birthday, this volume consists of 45 research papers. The topics include monotonicity and compact methods, blow up and global existence for hyperbolic problems, dynamic systems on time scales, and maximum monotone mappings, fixed point theory, iterative processes, and Morse theory.
