Publisher's Synopsis
This conference proceedings reflects the aim of a workshop on Applied Functionalanalysis: Variational Methods and Ill-Posed Problems, held at the Free University Berlin in 1981. The objective was to develop mathematical models for various physical processes such as solidification problems, identifications in chemical reactions and to discuss certain control aspects in this context. Modern mathematical analysis was presented to prove existence, uniqueness and stability results as well as to develop numerical algorithms for actual computations. This conference proceedings demonstrates the high standard of modern mathematics in describing difficult behaviours of certain physical systems.
