Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations and Related Topics

Abstract

This book contains papers that engage a wide set of classical and modern topics in partial differential equations, including linear and nonlinear equations, variational problems, the Navier-Stokes system, and the Boltzmann equation. The results include existence and uniqueness theorems, qualitative properties of solutions, a priori estimates, and nonexistence theorems. Table of Contents: J. Andersson, H. Shahgholian, and G. S.
