Recent Developments in Integrable Systems and Riemann-Hilbert Problems

Download or read book Recent Developments in Integrable Systems and Riemann-Hilbert Problems written by Kenneth T-R McLaughlin and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2003 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of papers presented at a special session on integrable systems and Riemann-Hilbert problems. The goal of the meeting was to foster new research by bringing together experts from different areas. Their contributions to the volume provide a useful portrait of the breadth and depth of integrable systems. Topics covered include discrete Painleve equations, integrable nonlinear partial differential equations, random matrix theory, Bose-Einstein condensation, spectral and inverse spectral theory, and last passage percolation models. In most of these articles, the Riemann-Hilbert problem approach plays a central role, which is powerful both analytically and algebraically. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers interested in integrable systems and its applications.
