Partial Differential Equations: Proceedings Of Elam Viii, Held In Rio De Janeiro, July 14-25, 1986 (lecture Notes In Mathematics)

The Latin American School Of Mathematics (elam) Is One Of The Most Important Mathematical Events In Latin America. It Has Been Held Every Other Year Since 1968 In A Different Country Of The Region, And Its Theme Varies According To The Areas Of Interest Of Local Research Groups. The Subject Of The 1986 School Was Partial Differential Equations With Emphasis On Microlocal Analysis, Scattering Theory And The Applications Of Nonlinear Analysis To Elliptic Equations And Hamiltonian Systems.
