WORLD CONGRESS OF NONLINEAR ANALYSTS
Melbourne, Florida USA
August 19-26, 1992
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: The Global Scientific Advisory Committee (GSAC) is
pleased to announce that the First World Congress of Nonlinear Analysts will
be held from Wednesday, August 19 through Wednesday, August 26, 1992 at Florida
Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Florida, USA.
The interest in mathematical analysis of nonlinear phenomena has led to
increased interdependency and cooperation among scientists across traditional
disciplinary barriers, and this collaboration has proved to be rewarding
and stimulating. Also, industrial recognition of using nonlinear mathematical
models for solving problems of technology is increasing because of the fast development of large-scale computers. It is, therefore, clear that the attempt to
understand the nonlinear world will dominate large parts of mathematics in
most areas of science and technology in future years. Thus, there is a
definite need to have a forum, on a global basis, to forge unity in diversity
and for bringing more cooperation and collaboration into the world community
of nonlinear analysts. It is with this spirit we feel that it is desirable
to have, periodically, a world congress.
GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE: K.J. Arrow, F.E. Browder, K.C. Chang,

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM: There will be approximately 20 invited expository
addresses covering recent developments in major areas of Nonlinear Analysis
and about 120 invited lectures divided into the following six main sections
that will have subsections:
1. Nonlinear Operators
2. Calculus of Variations and Optimization; Control Theory; and
Systems Analysis
3. Numerical and Computational Aspects; Mathematical Modelling
4. Dynamic Systems
5. Stochastic Analysis and Applications
6. Real-World Applications
There will be opportunity to present short communications, organize informal
seminars and propose special seminars. All invited lectures will be published
in the proceedings of WCNA-92. More details concerning location, travel
facilities, social events, preregistration, accommodations, submission of
abstracts, scientific program and invited lectures will be provided in the
second announcement. If you desire to receive the second announcement,
