This volume is respectfully dedicated to Professor Tosio Kato on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.
PREFACE This volume forms a permanent record of lectures given at the International Conference on Differential Equations and Mathematical Physics held at the Universi ty of Alabama at Birmingham during March 3-8. 1986. The conference was supported by about 250 mathematicians from the following countries:
Belgium. Canada. Czechoslovakia. Denmark. Egypt. Finland. France.
Hungary. India. Ireland. Japan. Kuwait. Nigeria. Norway. P.R. of China. South Africa. Sweden. Switzerland. The Netherlands. the U.K.. the U.S.A .. and West Germany.
Its main purpose was to provide a forum for the discussion of recent
developments in the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations. both linear and non-linear. with particular reference to work relating to the equations of mathematical physics.
Invited one-hour lectures were given by P.
Deift. R. DiPerna. W.N. Everitt. C. Foias. T. Kato. S. Kotani. A. Majda. J. Mawhin. J. McLaughlin. J. McLeod. C. Morawetz. R. Newton. R. Phillips. M. Reed. I. Sigal. and B. Simon.
The remainder of the program consisted of invited
one-half hour lectures.
On behalf of the participants. the conference directors acknowledge. with gratitude. the generous financial support provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation. under grant number DMS-8516772. the Department of Mathematics and the Graduate School. University of Alabama at Birm
