Publisher's Synopsis
Differential equations are the pre-eminent modelling device of engineering and the applied sciences.;This volume contains a refereed subset of papers presented at the 1991 IMACS World Congress. A natural subdivision occurred - General Theory, Specific Differential Equations and Computational Methods. There are eleven papers in the area termed General Theory. Seventeen papers concern Specific Differential Equations - both ordinary and partial - which have been used to model various phenomena. Finally, fourteen papers are devoted to a variety of Computational Methods.
