This volume contains the collected works of the eminent chemist and physicist Lars Onsager, one of the most influential scientists of the 20th Century.

The volume includes Onsager's previously unpublished PhD thesis, a biography by H C Longuet-Higgins and M E Fisher, an autobiographical commentary, selected photographs, and a list of Onsager discussion remarks in print.

Onsager's scientific achievements were characterized by deep insights into the natural sciences. His two best-known accomplishments are his reciprocal relations for irreversible processes, for which he received the 1968 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and his explicit solution of the two-dimensional Ising model, a mathematical tour de force that created a sensation when it appeared. In addition, he made significant theoretical contributions to other fields, including electrolytes, colloids, superconductivity, turbulence, ice, electrons in metals, and dielectrics.

In this volume, Onsager's contributions are divided into the following fields: irreversible processes; the Ising model; electrolytes; colloids; helium II and vortex quantization; off-diagonal long-range order and flux quantization; electrons in metal; turbulence; ion recombination; fluctuation theory; dielectrics; ice and water; biology; Mathieu functions. The different fields are evaluated by leading experts. The commentators are P W Anderson, R Askey, A Chorin, C Domb, R J Donnelly, W Ebeling, J-C Justice, H N W Lekkerkerker, P Mazur, H P McKean, J F Nagle, T Odijk, A B Pippard, G Stell, G H Weiss, and C N Yang.

The topic of the 2010 Abel Symposium, hosted at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, Oslo, was Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations, the study of which is of fundamental importance in mathematics and in almost all of natural sciences, economics, and engineering. 

This area of mathematics is currently in the midst of an unprecedented development worldwide. Differential equations are used to model phenomena of increasing complexity, and in areas that have traditionally been outside the realm of mathematics. New analytical tools and numerical methods are dramatically improving our understanding of nonlinear models. Nonlinearity gives rise to novel effects reflected in the appearance of shock waves, turbulence, material defects, etc., and offers challenging mathematical problems. On the other hand, new mathematical developments provide new insight in many applications. 

These proceedings present a selection of the latest exciting results by world leading researchers.

These volumes contain a collection of essays by many of the closest co-workers of Raphael Høegh-Krohn, 1938–88, one of the outstanding mathematical physicists of our age. The contributions vary in style, purpose and content - some are surveys where leading experts sum up and clarify a subject area, others are new and adventurous expeditions into unknown territory. The topics cover most aspects of modern mathematical physics with special emphasis on methods from operator theory and stochastic analysis. Many of the papers are based on talks given at a symposium in honour of Høegh-Krohn at the University of Oslo; however the final volumes are far more than proceedings and great care has been taken to attract contributions from the leading researchers.

Det første nummeret i Skrifter kom ut i 1761, alt året etter stiftinga av Det Trondhiemske Selskab som selskapet heitte fram til det vart approbert 1767, og er dermed ein av verdas eldste laupande vitskaplege publikasjonsseriar.

Utanom stiftarane av selskapet Gunnerus, Schøning og Suhm, har mange andre skrive artiklar til Skrifter. Mellom desse finn vi prest, naturforskar og topograf Hans Strøm, og komponist, overbranndirektør og meteorolog Johan Daniel Berlin.

Matematikar Niels Henrik Abel, filosof Arthur Schopenhauer, diktarane Henrik Wergeland, Johan Sebastian Welhaven og Henrik Ibsen, zoolog Michael Sars samt språkforskar, botanikar og diktar Ivar Aasen har óg medverka i skriftserien. 

Skrifter har hatt eit godt fotfeste i grunnforskinga, og skal attspegla samtlege disiplinar som er representerte innan Vitenskapsselskapet sine humanistiske og naturvitskaplege klassar. Artiklane i skriftserien representerer såleis eit breidt emneval, som spenner frå naturvitskap i vidaste forstand, til matematiske fag, teknologi, samfunnsvitskap, teologi, filosofi, historie, litteratur, språkvitskap og kunst.

This volume is dedicated to Helge Holden on the occasion of his 60th anniversary. It collects contributions by numerous scientists with expertise in non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs), mathematical physics, and stochastic analysis, reflecting to a large degree Helge Holden’s longstanding research interests. Accordingly, the problems addressed in the contributions deal with a large range of topics, including, in particular, infinite-dimensional analysis, linear and nonlinear PDEs, stochastic analysis, spectral theory, completely integrable systems, random matrix theory, and chaotic dynamics and sestina poetry. They represent to some extent the lectures presented at the conference Non-linear PDEs, Mathematical Physics and Stochastic Analysis, held at NTNU, Trondheim, July 4–7, 2016 (https://wiki.math.ntnu.no/holden60).

The mathematical tools involved draw from a wide variety of techniques in functional analysis, operator theory, and probability theory.

This collection of research papers will be of interest to any active scientist working in one of the above mentioned areas.
