About this title

Synopsis:

This textbook explores the vast field of nonlinear analysis by emphasizing the underlying ideas rather than the sophisticated refinements of the theory. Two classical examples from physics, namely elasticity and diffusion, serve to motivate the theoretical parts that are then applied to various aspects of elliptic and parabolic problems. In particular, existence, uniqueness, regularity and approximation of solutions for quasi-linear and monotone problems are studied, as well as some new aspects of the calculus of variations including Young measures or approximation of minimizing sequences. Wherever possible, the book contains original proofs that are not to be found elsewhere.

Review:

"This is a relatively formal book which starts out as a motivational chapter introducing two examples, elasticity and diffusion, of the application of nonlinear analysis. Aimed mainly at graduate students and nonspecialists, the material is then developed in a largely abstract fashion, introducing topics in existence, uniqueness, regularity and approximation for elliptic and parabolic problems."   --Aslib Book Guide

"This book covers some of the main aspects of nonlinear analysis. It concentrates on stressing the fundamental ideas instead of elaborating on the intricacies of the more esoteric ones...it encompass[es] many methods of dynamical systems in quite simple and original settings. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the main and essential concepts of nonlinear analysis as well as the relevant methodologies and applications."   --Mathematical Reviews
