This monograph on integral equations focuses specifically on Abel equations and their applications in such fields as spectroscopy and stereology. The text, which requires some background in functional analysis, maps the properties of Abel integral operators.

This volume contains the lectures presented by invited speakers at the IV La Rlibida International Summer School on Nuclear Physics. This was the IV edition of a summer school organized by our group every three years on topics related to nuclear physics. This Summer School was aimed mainly at young nuclear physicists, both theoreticians and experimentalists, engaged in research work at predoctoral or recent postdoctoral level. The topics treated in the three previous editions of the School were: "Heavy Ion Collisions," "Theory of Nuclear Structure and Reactions" and "Nuclear As trophysics."...
