Notes on the Stationary p-Laplace Equation

This book in the BCAM SpringerBriefs series is a treatise on the p-Laplace equation. It is based on lectures by the author that were originally delivered at the Summer School in Jyväskylä, Finland, in August 2005 and have since been updated and extended to cover various new topics, including viscosity solutions and asymptotic mean values. The p-Laplace equation is a far-reaching generalization of the ordinary Laplace equation, but it is non-linear and degenerate (p>2) or singular (pPeter Lindqvist is Professor of Mathematics in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. His research focus is analysis, including in particular partial differential equations and non-linear potential theory.
