Higher Education: Handbook of Theory and Research 12

There are many problems in partial differential equations with delay which arise from physical models with delay, biochemical models with delay and diffused population with delay. Some of them can be considered as nonlinear functional evolutions in appropriate infinite dimensional spaces. While other publications in the same field have treated linear functional evolutions and nonlinear functional evolutions in finite dimensional spaces, this book is one of the first to give a detailed account of the recent state of the theory of nonlinear functional evolutions associated with multi-valued operators in infinite dimensional real Banach spaces. The techniques developed for nonlinear evolutions in real Banach spaces are applied in this book. This book will benefit graduate students and researchers working in such diverse fields as mathematics, physics, biochemistry, and sociology who are interested in the development and application of nonlinear functional evolutions. This volume will also be useful as supplementary reading for biologists and engineers.
