Solutions to partial differential equations or systems often, over specific time periods, exhibit smooth behaviour. Given sufficient time, however, they almost

This excellent introduction to hyperbolic differential equations is devoted to linear equations and symmetric systems, as well as conservation laws. The book is

Blow-up for Higher-Order Parabolic, Hyperbolic, Dispersion and Schrodinger Equations shows how four types of higher-order nonlinear evolution partial differenti

Contains the proceedings of a workshop on nonlinear hyperbolic equations held at Varenna, Italy in June 1990.

The theory of nonlinear wave equations in the absence of shocks began in the 1960s. Despite a great deal of recent activity in this area, some major issues rema
