Special issue dedicated to the memory of Paul Waltman

Abstract

This volume is dedicated to the memory of Paul Waltman. Many of the authors of articles contained here were participants at the NCTS International Conference on Nonlinear Dynamics with Applications to Biology held May 28-30, 2014 at National Tsing-Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan. The purpose of the conference was to survey new developments in nonlinear dynamics and its applications to biology and to honor the memory of Professor Paul Waltman for his influence on the development of Mathematical Biology and Dynamical Systems. Attendees at the conference included Paul's sons Fred and Dennis, many of Paul's former doctoral and post-doctoral students, many others who, although not students of Paul, nevertheless were recipients of Paul's valuable advice and council, and many colleagues from all over the world who were influenced by Paul's mathematics and by his personality. We thank the NCTS for its financial support of the conference and Dr. J.S.W. Wong for supporting the conference banquet. For more information please click the “Full Text” above.
