Functional Analysis and Related Topics, 1991

In these proceedings of the international conference held in

Kyoto in memoryof the late Professor K saku Yosida, twenty

six invited speakers display in their many facets of

functional analysis and its applications in the research

tradition of Yosida's school. Many of the topics are related

tolinear and non-linear partial differential equations,

including the Schr|dinger equations, the Navier-Stokes

equations and quasilinear hyperbolic equations. Several of

the papers are survey articles, the others are original

(unpublished) and refereed research articles. Also included

is a full listing of the publications of K. Yosida.

Recommendedto students and research workers looking for a

bird's-eye view of current research activity in functional

analysis and its applications.
