Precup R (Ed.) Nonlinear Functional Analysis and Its Applications

MDPI, 2021. — 148 p. — (Printed Edition of the Special Issue Published in Mathematics). — ISBN 978-3-0365-0241-0.Printed Edition of the Special Issue Published in MathematicsOriginally, functional analysis was that branch of mathematics capable of investigating in an abstract way a series of linear mathematical models from science. The study of these linear models-in fact, only first approximations of real models-proved insufficient, so the theory had to be extended to be able to describe the nonlinear phenomena themselves. In this way nonlinear functional analysis was born and continues to develop, becoming a vast and fascinating field of mathematics, with deep applications to increasingly complex problems in physics, biology, chemistry, and economics.Articles in this book are Open Access and distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, which allows users to download, copy and build upon published articles, as long as the author and publisher are properly credited, which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
