Analytic Methods for Coagulation-Fragmentation Models, Volume II

Jacek Banasiak is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, where he holds DST/NRF Research Chair in Mathematical Models and Methods in Biosciences and Bioengineering, and at Lodz University of Technology, Poland. His main research areas are functional analytic methods in kinetic theory and mathematical biology, singular perturbations, general applied analysis and partial differential equations and evolution problems. He is the author/co-author of five monographs and over 120 papers in these fields. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Afrika Matematika (Springer). In 2012, he received the South African Mathematical Society Award for Research Distinction and, in 2013, he was awarded the Cross of Merit (Silver) of the Republic of Poland.





Wilson Lamb is an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde, Scotland, having retired recently from his position there as a Senior Lecturer in Mathematics. He is also a member of the Associate Faculty of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences. His main research interests lie in applicable functional analysis, evolution equations and the mathematical analysis of coagulation and fragmentation processes. He has published over 45 refereed research publications, and has given lecture courses at all levels to undergraduate and postgraduate students. These include courses on differential equations, functional analysis, dynamical systems and mathematical biology. He was nominated for the University of Strathclyde Students' Association Teaching Excellence Awards in 2012, 2013 and 2014; in 2013, he was shortlisted for the category of "Best in Science Faculty."
