Pacific Journal of Applied Mathematics Yearbook. Volume 1

This book presents current research in the field of applied mathematics. Topics discussed include nongauge invariant cubic nonlinear schrodinger equations; geometric aspects of sturm-liouville problems; soliton perturbation theory for the generalized equal width equation; general nonlinear variational-like inequality in reflexive banach spaces; traveling wave solitons of the generalized BBM equation and quarter-plane problems for the kawahara equation.
