Variational Methods for Free Surface Interfaces Proceedings of a Conference Held at Vallombrosa Center, Menlo Park, California, September 7–12, 1985

Vallombrosa Center was host during the week September 7-12, 1985 to about 40 mathematicians, physical scientists, and engineers, who share a common interest in free surface phenomena. This volume includes a selection of contributions by participants and also a few papers by interested scientists who...
