Provides a self-contained introduction to the classical theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) Expands on the Second Edition with five new chapters, as well as new exercises and examples Examines how the classical approach to PDEs connects to cutting-edge research and the modeling of physical phenomena

Autorentext

Emanuele DiBenedetto (1947-2021) was Emeritus Centennial Professor of Mathematics at Vanderbilt University. His teaching and research at Vanderbilt focused on the study of partial differential equations, particularly the elliptic and parabolic ones. He was a prolific writer, authoring more than 120 papers and six books. He served as editor-in-chief of the Journal on Mathematical Analysis of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. In addition, he was on more than twenty editorial boards and gave numerous invited talks. Ugo Gianazza is Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics F. Casorati of the University of Pavia. His research interests include Regularity for Elliptic and Parabolic Equations. In addition to editing numerous volumes, he also co-authored the 2012 monograph Harnack's Inequality for Degenerate and Singular Parabolic Equation.
