Applied Nonlinear Analysis and Soft Computing: Proceedings of Anasc 2020

The volume contains original research papers as the Proceedings of the International Conference on Applied Nonlinear Analysis and Soft Computing (ANASC 2020), held at Gauhati University, Guwahati, India, on 22-23 December, 2020. It focuses on current research topics in applied analysis including nonlinearity, soft computing and related areas. It primarily includes topics related to pattern recognition, reaction-diffusion problem, decision making problems, inventory model, predator-prey model, logistic models, wave problems, problems in Magnetohydrodynamics, cosmological model, harmonic functions, graphs, shapes, etc.

Researchers, educators, scientist and professionals interested in recent developments in applied analysis including nonlinearity aspects and soft computing should be benefited from this volume.
