The contents must represent original and unpublished work and should not be considered for publication elsewhere.

Authors will be required to assign copyright in their papers. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless the copyright has been assigned. An appropriate copyright assignment form can be found at the following address: http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/sapm_CTA.pdf.

Use standard paper and type on only one side. Double-space all lines, including footnotes and references. The title page should include the authors, their complete affiliations and contact information, key words, and a short abstract. Acknowledgments, if any, should appear on the title page as a footnote.

Begin with an introductory section that briefly summarizes the main results and explains the paper's significance and contribution to mathematics. Main headings, and all items requiring numbers (e.g., Lemmas, Theorems, Corollaries, and Propositions), should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper. The statements themselves should be in italics. If it is necessary to number display equations, they should be numbered on the right, consecutively throughout the paper. Secondary headings should be double-numbered by section ( e.g., 2.1, 2.2, etc.). Mathematical symbols should be in italics unless, of course, another typeface is necessary (e.g., boldface, roman). A short concluding section may be useful for summarizing the technical results in a qualitative fashion.

The backmatter should appear as follows: appendix (if any), references, footnotes (if any) numbered consecutively starting with 1, and author(s) affiliation(s).

References should be cited in the text in order of appearance by number [1]. References at the end of the manuscript should be arranged by number and follow the style of these examples:

1. J. HUNTER and J. B. KELLER. Weakly nonlinear high frequency waves, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 36:547-569 (1983).

2. J. SMOLLER, Shock Waves and Reaction-Diffusion Equations, Springer-Verlag, New York, 1983.

NEW: Online production tracking is now available for your article through Wiley-Blackwell's Author Services.

Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production so they don't need to contact the production editor to check on progress. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.

EARLY VIEW

Studies in Applied Mathematics is covered by Wiley-Blackwell’s Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors’ final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
