Topological methods in differential equations and inclusions

The main topics covered in this book, which contains the proceedings of the NATO ASI held in Montreal, are: non-smooth critical point theory; second order differential equations on manifolds and forced oscillations; topological approach to differential inclusions; periodicity of singularly perturbed delay equations; existence, multiplicity and bifurcation of solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems; some applications of the topological degree to stability theory; bifurcation problems for semilinear elliptic equations; ordinary differential equations in Banach spaces; the center manifold technique and complex dynamics of reaction diffusion equations.
