Bosia, Stefano (ed.); Eleuteri, Michela (ed.); Rocca, Elisabetta (ed.); Valdinoci, Enrico (ed.) Preface: Special issue on rate-independent evolutions and hysteresis modelling. (English) Zbl 1359.00028 Rend. Semin. Mat., Univ. Politec. Torino 72, No. 1-2, 1 (2014). From the text: This special issue of this issue is devoted to the latest advances and trends in the modelling and in the analysis of this family of complex phenomena, motivated by the Spring School on Rate-independent Evolutions and Hysteresis Modelling, held at the Politecnico di Milano and University of Milano on May 27–31, 2013. In particular, we gathered contributions from different areas of mathematics, with the intent of presenting an updated picture of current research directions, offering a new perspective in the study of these processes.See also [Zbl 1305.00130].
