Reseña del editor

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications DEGENERATE DIFFUSIONS is based on the proceedings of a workshop which was an integral part of the 1990- 91 IMA program on "Phase Transitions and Free Boundaries". The aim of this workshop was to provide some focus in the study of degenerate diffusion equations, and by involving scientists and engineers as well as mathematicians, to keep this focus firmly linked to concrete problems. We thank Wei-Ming Ni, L.A. Peletier and J.L. Vazquez for organizing the meet­ ing. We especially thank Wei-Ming Ni for editing the proceedings. We also take this opportunity to thank those agencies whose financial support made the workshop possible: the Army Research Office, the National Science Foun­ dation, and the Office of Naval Research.

Reseña del editor

This volume is the proceedings of the IMA workshop "Degenerate Diffusions" held at the University of Minnesota from May 13-May 18, 1991. The workshop consisted of two parts. The emphasis of the first four days was on current progress or new problems in nonlinear diffusions involving free boundaries or sharp interfaces. Analysts and geometers will find some of the mathematical models described in this volume interesting; and the papers of more pure mathematical nature included here should provide applied mathematicians with powerful methods and useful techniques in handling singular perturbation problems as well as free boundary problems. The last two days of the workshop were a celebration of James Serrin's 65th birthday. A wide range of topics was covered in this part of the workshop. As a consequence, the scope of this book is much broader than what the title Degenerate Diffusions might suggest.
