Handbook of Differential Equations: Stationary Partial Differential Equations Volume 1
Michel Chipot, Pavel Quittner (Editors)This handbook is Volume I in a multi-volume series devoted to stationary partial differential equations. It is a collection of self-contained, state-of-the-art surveys written by well-known experts in the field. The authors have made an effort to achieve readability for mathematicians and scientists from other fields, and we hope that this series of handbooks will become a new reference for research, learning and teaching.
Partial differential equations represent one of the most rapidly developing topics in mathematics. This is due to their numerous applications in science and engineering on one hand and to the challenge and beauty of associated mathematical problems on the other. This volume consists of eight chapters covering a variety of elliptic problems and explaining many useful ideas, techniques and results. Although the central theme is the mathematically rigorous analysis, many of the contributions are enriched by a plenty of figures originating in numerical simulations.
A good companion for any graduate student in partial differential equations or in applied mathematics.
