Spectral Theory and Nonlinear Analysis with Applications to Spatial Ecology : Madrid, Spain 14 - 15 June 2004

This volume details some of the latest advances in spectral theory and nonlinear analysis through various cutting-edge theories on algebraic multiplicities, global bifurcation theory, non-linear Schr dinger equations, non-linear boundary value problems, large solutions, metasolutions, dynamical systems, and applications to spatial ecology.The main scope of the book is bringing together a series of topics that have evolved separately during the last decades around the common denominator of spectral theory and nonlinear analysis -- from the most abstract developments up to the most concrete applications to population dynamics and socio-biology -- in an effort to fill the existing gaps between these fields.
