Calculus of Variations, Applications and Computations

This volume collects the proceedings of conferences given at the University of Metz during the 1992 "Metz Days". Various important topics in partial differential equations are examined: phase transition, evolution problems, bifurcation, stability and parabolic problems.
This research presents some important domains of partial differential equations and applied mathematics including calculus of variations, control theory, modelling, numerical analysis and various applications in physics, mechanics and engineering. These topics are now part of many areas of science and have experienced tremendous development during the last decades.
