Description for Modern Methods in the Calculus of Variations
Hardback. This book presents in a unified way both classical and contemporary results in the Calculus of Variations. It brings together in one place the contemporary developments in the calculus of variations based on a series of lectures at Carnegie Mellon University. Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 614 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 166 x 243 x 41. Weight in Grams: 1082.
This is the first of two books on methods and techniques in the calculus of variations. Contemporary arguments are used throughout the text to streamline and present in a unified way classical results, and to provide novel contributions at the forefront of the theory. This book addresses fundamental questions related to lower semicontinuity and relaxation of functionals within the unconstrained setting, mainly in L^p spaces. It prepares the ground for the second volume where the variational treatment of functionals involving fields and their derivatives will be undertaken within the framework of Sobolev spaces. This book is self-contained. All ... Read more
