The purpose of the Journal NoDEA - Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications - is to encourage the interaction between pure mathematics and applied sciences. In particular it will provide a forum for research papers on nonlinear differential equations and applications to natural sciences. General theory will include ordinary and partial differential equations (both deterministic and stochastic) variational and topological methods control theory qualitative analysis including stability and bifurcation. Applications to natural sciences include the treatment of problems in classical statistical and quantum mechanics electromagnetism population dynamics chemical kinetics combustion theory.
