Dirichlet's Principle, Conformal Mapping and Minimal Surfaces (Pure & Applied Mathematics S.) - Hardcover
Synopsis
An examination of approaches to easy-to-understand but difficult-to-solve mathematical problems, this classic text begins with a discussion of Dirichlet's principle and the boundary value problem of potential theory, then proceeds to examinations of conformal mapping on parallel-slit domains and Plateau's problem. Also explores minimal surfaces with free boundaries and unstable minimal surfaces. 1950 edition.
