PRE F ACE

These Proceedings form a record of the lectures delivered at the seventh

Conference on Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations which was held at the

University of Dundee, Scotland during the week Monday 29 March to Friday 2 April

1982.

The Conference formed part of the centenary celebrations for the University of

Dundee 1882-1982. The University of Wurzburg was officially represented at the

Conference, for this purpose, by Professor Dr H WKnobloch.

The Conference was attended by 120 mathematicians from more than 25 countries.

The Conference was organised by a Committee with membership: E R Dawson,

WN Everitt, B D Sleeman.

Following again the tradition set by the earlier Dundee Conferences the

Organising Committee named as Honorary Presidents of the 1982 Conference

Professor Jean Mawhin (Belgium)

Professor Tung Chin-Chu (p R China).

The Committee expresses its gratitude to all mathematicians who took part in

the work of the Conference.

The Committee thanks : the University of Dundee for generously supporting the

Ce,nference; the Warden, Domestic Bursar and Staff of West Park Hall for all their

help in providing accommodation for the participants; the Department of Mathematical

Sciences for continuing support for the Conference; the Bursar of Residences, the

Accommodation Officer, the Information Officer and the Finance Officer of the

University.

The Committee offers special thanks to the Vice-Principal of the University,

Professor P D Griffiths, for representing the University at the opening ceremony,

and at the University reception held for all participants.

The Committee records with gratitude financial support, in the form of travel

and subsistence funds, from

The Royal Society of Londonand

The European Research Office of the United States Army.

The Professors Everitt and Sleeman record special thanks to their colleague

Commander E R Dawson R N whose services, from retirement, were generously offered in

helping to organise the Conference, and who carried the main responsibility for the

accommodation of all participants in West Park Hall. Commander nawson also edited a

number of the manuscripts submitted for publication in these Proceedings.

Likewise special thanks are due to all the Secretaries in the Department of

Mathematical Sciences of the University; in particular to Mrs Caroline Peters for

her invaluable contribution.
