NANKAI SERIES IN PURE, APPLIED MATHEMATICS AND THEORETICAL PHYSICS – serie

A collection of conference papers which discuss topics in computer mathematics. Subjects covered include: computations with rational parametric equations; theorem proving in Riemann geometry using Wu's method; and the finite basis of an irreducible ascending set.

In the last forty years, nonlinear analysis has been broadly and rapidly developed. Lectures presented in the International Conference on Variational Methods at the Chern Institute of Mathematics in Tianjin of May 2009 reflect this development from different angles. This volume contains articles based on lectures in the following areas of nonlinear analysis: critical point theory, Hamiltonian dynamics, partial differential equations and systems, KAM theory, bifurcation theory, symplectic geometry, geometrical analysis, and celestial mechanics. Combinations of topological, analytical (especially variational), geometrical, and algebraic methods in these researches play important roles. In this proceedings, introductory materials on new theories and surveys on traditional topics are also given. Further perspectives and open problems on hopeful research topics in related areas are described and proposed. Researchers, graduate and postgraduate students from a wide range of areas in mathematics and physics will find contents in this proceedings are helpful.

The book aims to survey recent developments in quantum algebras and related topics. Quantum groups were introduced by Drinfeld and Jimbo in 1985 in their work on Yang–Baxter equations. The subject from the very beginning has been an interesting one for both mathematics and theoretical physics. For example, Yangian is a special example of quantum group, corresponding to rational solution of Yang–Baxter equation. Viewed as a generalization of the symmetric group, Yangians also have close connections to algebraic combinatorics. This is the proceeding for the International Workshop on Quantized Algebra and Physics. The workshop aims to gather experts and young investigators from China and abroad to discuss research problems in integrable systems, conformal field theory, string theory, Lie theory, quantum groups including Yangians and their representations.

The book aims to exemplify the recent developments in operad theory, in universal algebra and related topics in algebraic topology and theoretical physics. The conference has established a better connection between mathematicians working on operads (mainly the French team) and mathematicians working in universal algebra (primarily the Chinese team), and to exchange problems, methods and techniques from these two subject areas.

The aim of the Sino–Japan Conference of Young Mathematicians was to provide a forum for presenting and discussing recent trends and developments in differential equations and their applications, as well as to promote scientific exchanges and collaborations among young mathematicians both from China and Japan.The topics discussed in this proceedings include mean curvature flows, KAM theory, N-body problems, flows on Riemannian manifolds, hyperbolic systems, vortices, water waves, and reaction diffusion systems.

This volume focuses on developments in the field of group theory in its broadest sense and is of interest to theoretical and experimental physicists, mathematicians, and scientists in related disciplines who are interested in the latest methods and applications. In an increasingly ultra-specialized world, this volume will demonstrate the interchange of ideas and methods in theoretical and mathematical physics.

The main topics covered in this proceedings include: Interacting Particle Systems, Markov Processes and Potential Theory, Random Fields, Stochastic Analysis, Large Deviation Theory, Fractals and Superprocesses; Nonparametric Analysis, Robust Analysis, Multivariate Analysis, The Projection Pursuit, The Jackknife, Time Series, Linear Model, Regression and Limit Theorems.

These proceedings contain recent developments on the following important topics: variational problems, fully nonlinear elliptic equations, PDE from differential geometry, hamiltonian systems, nonlinear evolution equations and nonlinear microlocal analysis. Included are many interesting survey papers with the latest research materials.

This volume contains 18 research papers on algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory and algebraic groups. Two summarized surveys on Arthur's invariant trace formula and the representation theory of quantum linear groups by K F Lai and Jian-Pan Wang respectively are included.

Covers such topics as the dynamics of an age structured epidemic model; harmonic solutions and subharmonic solutions for periodic Lotka-Volterra systems; classes of quadratic systems of differential equations in the plane; and bounded polynomial vector fields II.
