A Basic Course in Partial Differential Equations
Share this pageQing Han
This is a textbook for an introductory
graduate course on partial differential equations. Han focuses on
linear equations of first and second order. An important feature of
his treatment is that the majority of the techniques are applicable
more generally. In particular, Han emphasizes a priori estimates
throughout the text, even for those equations that can be solved
explicitly. Such estimates are indispensable tools for proving the
existence and uniqueness of solutions to PDEs, being especially
important for nonlinear equations. The estimates are also crucial to
establishing properties of the solutions, such as the continuous
dependence on parameters.
Han's book is suitable for students interested in the mathematical
theory of partial differential equations, either as an overview of the
subject or as an introduction leading to further study.
Readership
Advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in PDEs.
Reviews & Endorsements
The book is very well-written, the proofs are given in full detail, and each chapter ends with a list of exercises. Note that the author puts emphasis on the main ideas and methods rather than on various generalizations.
