Lectures on Elliptic and Parabolic Equations in Hölder Spaces
Share this pageN. V. Krylov
These lectures concentrate on fundamentals of the modern theory
of linear elliptic and parabolic equations in Hölder spaces. Krylov
shows that this theory—including some issues of the theory of
nonlinear equations—is based on some general and extremely
powerful ideas and some simple computations.
The main object of study is the first boundary-value problems
for elliptic and parabolic equations, with some guidelines
concerning other boundary-value problems such as the Neumann or
oblique derivative problems or problems involving higher-order
elliptic operators acting on the boundary. Numerical approximations are
also discussed.
This book, with nearly 200 exercises, will provide a
good understanding of what kinds of results are available and what kinds
of techniques are used to obtain them.
Readership
Graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics, and engineering interested in the theory of partial differential equations.
Reviews & Endorsements
Short but not condensed, well organized and gives a stimulating presentation of basic aspects of the theory of elliptic and parabolic equations in Hölder spaces … an interesting addition for students and instructors.
-- Zentralblatt MATH
The author has fully achieved his goal … and has written an impressive book that presents nice material in an interesting way … this book can be recommended as a thorough, modern and sufficiently broad introduction to partial differential equations of elliptic and parabolic types for graduate students and instructors (and also for individual study) in mathematics, physics, and (possibly) engineering.
