Convergence of One-Parameter Operator Semigroups: In Models of Mathematical Biology and Elsewhere (New Mathematical Monographs, Band 30)

This book presents a detailed and contemporary account of the classical theory of convergence of semigroups. The author demonstrates the far-reaching applications of this theory using real examples from various branches of pure and applied mathematics, with a particular emphasis on mathematical biology. These examples also serve as short, non-technical introductions to biological concepts. The book may serve as a useful reference, containing a significant number of new results ranging from the analysis of fish populations to signalling pathways in living cells. It comprises many short chapters, which allows readers to pick and choose those topics most relevant to them, and contains 160 end-of-chapter exercises, so that the reader can test their understanding of the material as they go along.
