This book deals with various aspects in relation with thin shell theory: general geometric formalism of shell theory, analysis of singularities, numerical computing of thin shell problems, mathematical considerations on boundary values problems.

There are excellent books on both functional analysis and summability. Most of them are very terse. In Functional Analysis and Summability, the author makes a sincere attempt for a gentle introduction of these topics to students. In the functional analysis component of the book, the Hahn–Banach theorem, Banach–Steinhaus theorem (or uniform boundedness principle), the open mapping theorem, the closed graph theorem, and the Riesz representation theorem are highlighted. In the summability component of the book, the Silverman–Toeplitz theorem, Schur’s theorem, the Steinhaus theorem, and the Steinhaus-type theorems are proved. The utility of functional analytic tools like the uniform boundedness principle to prove some results in summability theory is also pointed out. Features A gentle introduction of the topics to the students is attempted. Basic results of functional analysis and summability theory and their applications are highlighted. Many examples are provided in the text. Each chapter ends with useful exercises. This book will be useful to postgraduate students, pre-research level students, and research scholars in mathematics. Students of physics and engineering will also find this book useful since topics in the book also have applications in related areas.

This book examines ultrametric Banach algebras in general. It begins with algebras of continuous functions, and looks for maximal and prime ideals in connections with ultrafilters on the set of definition. The multiplicative spectrum has shown to be indispensable in ultrametric analysis and is described in the general context and then, in various cases of Banach algebras.Applications are made to various kind of functions: uniformly continuous functions, Lipschitz functions, strictly differentiable functions, defined in a metric space. Analytic elements in an algebraically closed complete field (due to M Krasner) are recalled with most of their properties linked to T-filters and applications to their Banach algebras, and to the ultrametric holomorphic functional calculus, with applications to spectral properties. The multiplicative semi-norms of Krasner algebras are characterized by circular filters with a metric and an order that are examined.The definition of the theory of affinoid algebras due to J Tate is recalled with all the main algebraic properties (including Krasner-Tate algebras). The existence of idempotents associated to connected components of the multiplicative spectrum is described.

This volume presents a collection of lectures on linear partial differntial equations and semigroups, nonlinear equations, stochastic evolutionary processes, and evolution problems from physics, engineering and mathematical biology. The contributions come from the 6th International Conference on Evolution Equations and Their Applications in Physica

This volume collects together lectures presented at the Sixth International Conference held at the University of Ioannina, Greece, on p-adic functional analysis with applications in the fields of physics, differential equations, number theory, probability theory, dynamical systems, and algebraic number fields. It discusses the commutation relation AB-BA=I and its central role in quantum mechanics.
