Several recent investigations have focused attention on spaces and manifolds which are non-compact but where the problems studied have some kind of "e;control near infinity"e;.
The Silvri Workshop was divided into a short summer school and a working conference, producing lectures and research papers on recent developments in stochastic analysis on Wiener space.
This research monograph deals with optimal periodic control problems for systems governed by ordinary and functional differential equations of retarded type.
The volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 7th Symposium on differential geometry and differential equations (DD7) held at the Nankai Institute of Mathematics, Tianjin, China, in 1986.
