Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems in Mechanics and Physics

The study of nonlinear dynamics is a fascinating question which is at the very heart of the understanding of many important problems of the natural sciences. Two of the oldest and most notable classes of problems in nonlinear dynamics are the problems of celestial mechanics, especially the study of the motion of bodies in the solar system, and the problems of turbulence in fluids. Both phenomena have attracted the interest of scientists for a long time; they are easy to observe, and lead to the
