Problems and Methods in Mathematical Physics

This Teubner text contains selected contributions to the 10th Conference on Problems and Methods in Mathematical Physics, held at the Technical University of Chemnitz-Zwickau in Chemnitz, Germany, from September 13 to 17, 1993. The main topics of the conference included scientific computing in solid and fluid mechanics, problems with singularities, boundary integral methods, multilevel finite element methods, free boundary value problems, optimal control, and numerical functional analysis. The conference brought together more than 170 experts from 17 countries, and the 18 plenary and invited lectures, as well as the 120 short lectures, were devoted to numerous problems and the latest results in applied mathematical research. Undoubtedly, the majority of these contributions would have deserved publication. However, this volume does not intend to reflect the entire scientific content of the conference.
