Nonlinear Wave Equations - Book Review,
by Walter A. Strauss

From Book News, Inc. Presents 12 original research papers and expository articles devoted to nonlinear wave equations, from a conference held at Brown University. Topics covered include scattering theory, dispersive waves, classical field theory, mathematical fluid dynamics, kinetic theory, stability theory, and variational methods. Specific subjects discussed are the wave map problem, hyperbolicity, scattering theory in the energy space for a class of Hartree equations, the smoothness of trajectories in incompressible perfect fluids, and homoclinic orbits and spatiotemporal chaos.
