The book contains two contributions about the work of Emmanuele DiBenedetto and a selection of original papers. The authors are some of the main experts in Harnack's inequalities and nonlinear operators. These papers are part of the contributions presented during the conference to celebrate the 70th birthday of Prof. Emmanuele DiBenedetto, which was held at Il Palazzone in Cortona from June 18th to 24th, 2017. The papers are focused on current research topics regarding the qualitative properties of solutions, connections with calculus of variations, Harnack inequality and regularity theory. Some papers are also related to various applications. Many of the authors have shared with Prof. DiBenedetto an intense scientific and personal collaboration, while many others have taken inspiration from and further developed his field of research.
The topics of the conference are certainly of great interest for the international mathematical community.

Offers two unique presentations of the research activity of Emmanuele DiBenedetto, written by two collaborators of him Provides very interesting original papers on nonlinear parabolic elliptic equations written by leading experts in the field Focuses on the relations between nonlinear parabolic and elliptic equations, other part of mathematics and applications
