This volume contains papers from the 7th International Conference on Difference Equations held at Hunan University (Changsa, China), a satellite conference of ICM2002 Beijing. The volume captures the spirit of the meeting and includes peer-reviewed survey papers, research papers, and open problems and conjectures.

Articles cover stability, oscillation, chaos, symmetries, boundary value problems and bifurcations for discrete dynamical systems, difference-differential equations, and discretization of continuous systems.

The book presents state-of-the-art research in these important areas. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers in difference equations and related topics.

Titles in this series are co-published with the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).

Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in differential equations and applications.
