In these proceedings of the international conference held in
Kyoto in memoryof the late Professor K saku Yosida, twenty
six invited speakers display in their many facets of
functional analysis and its applications in the research
tradition of Yosida's school. Many of the topics are related
tolinear and non-linear partial differential equations,
including the Schr|dinger equations, the Navier-Stokes
equations and quasilinear hyperbolic equations. Several of
the papers are survey articles, the others are original
(unpublished) and refereed research articles. Also included
is a full listing of the publications of K. Yosida.
Recommendedto students and research workers looking for a
bird's-eye view of current research activity in functional
analysis and its applications.
