This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications Metastability
and Incompletely Posed Problems represents the proceedings of a
workshop which was an integral part of the 19R4-R5 IMA program on
CONTINUUM PHYSICS AND PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EOIIATIONS. We are
grateful to the Scientific Committee:, I.L. Eri cksen D.
Kinderlehrer H. Rrezis C. Dafermos for their dedication and hard
work in developing an imaginative, stimulating, and productive
year-long program. George R. Sell Hans Weinberger Preface Most
equilibrium events in nature do not realize configurations of
minimum energy. They are only metastable. Available knowledge of
constitutive relations and environmental interactions may be
limiterl. As a result, many configurations may he compatible with
the rlata. Such questions are incompletely poserl. The papers in
this volume address a wide variety of these issues as they are
perceived by the material scientist and the mathematician. They
represent a portion of the significant activity which has been
underway in recent years, from the experimental arena and physical
theory to the analysis of differential equations and computation.
The 39 papers in this collection are devoted mostly to the exact
mathematical analysis of problems in continuum mechanics, but also
to problems of a purely mathematical nature mainly connected to
partial differential equations from continuum physics. All the
papers are dedicated to J. Serrin and were originally published in
the "Archive of Rational Mechanics and Analysis."
