Description:
In the last decades there have been remarkable advancements in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations, motivated not only by the twentieth century developments in pure and applied mathematics, but also by the industrial modelling and scientific progress. New theories and techniques have been developed to address the search for classical and generalized solutions for equations or systems of partial differential equations, and their qualitative properties such as regularity or asymptotic behavior. Most of these questions are still poorly understood and new emerging issues in physical sciences, mathematical finance, and other applied disciplines proved a test for known theories and an inspirational source for the introduction of new ones.
