    "Based on the proceedings of the International Conference on Reaction Diffusion Systems held recently at the University of Trieste, Italy. Presents new research papers and state-of-the-art surveys on the theory of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic problems, and their related applications. Furnishes incisive contribution by over 40 mathematicians representing renowned institutions in North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East."

    Symmetry and non-symmetry in some overdetermined boundary value problems; asymptotical behaviour of solutions of some reaction-diffusion systems; nonlinear singular parabolic equations; nonlinear Liouville theorem; existence and regularity results for quasilinear parabolic equations; elliptic systems with various growth; a strong comparison principle for the Dirichlet p-Laplacian; geometric properties of solutions to subelliptic equations in nilpotent lie groups; recent progress on super-diffusive nonlinear parabolic problems; on linear perturbations of superquadratic elliptic systems; an age dependent regularization of Martin's problem; uniqueness and positivity for solutions of equations with the p-Laplacian; on the first curve in the Fucik spectrum of a mixed problem; the maximum principle and positive principal Eigen functions for polyharmonic equations; positive solutions for the logistic equation with bounded weights.
