Title: Partial Differential Equations ([EBook]) / by Jürgen Jost. Dewey Class: 515 Author: Jost, Jürgen., 1956- Publication: New York, NY : Springer, 2002. Other name(s): SpringerLink (Online service) Physical Details: XI, 325 pages : online resource. Series: Graduate Texts in Mathematics,0072-5285 ;; 214 ISBN: 9780387215952 System details note: Online access to this digital book is restricted to subscription institutions through IP address (only for SISSA internal users) Summary Note: This textbook is intended for students who wish to obtain an introduction to the theory of partial di?erential equations (PDEs, for short), in particular, those of elliptic type. Thus, it does not o?er a comprehensive overview of the whole ?eld of PDEs, but tries to lead the reader to the most important methods and central results in the case of elliptic PDEs. The guiding qu- tion is how one can ?nd a solution of such a PDE. Such a solution will, of course, depend on given constraints and, in turn, if the constraints are of the appropriate type, be uniquely determined by them. We shall pursue a number of strategies for ?nding a solution of a PDE; they can be informally characterized as follows: (0) Write down an explicit formula for the solution in terms of the given data (constraints). This may seem like the best and most natural approach, but this is possible only in rather particular and special cases. Also, such a formula may be rather complicated, so that it is not very helpful for detecting qualitative properties of a solution. Therefore, mathematical analysis has developed other, more powerful, approaches. (1) Solve a sequence of auxiliary problems that approximate the given one, and show that their solutions converge to a solution of that original pr- lem. Di?erential equations are posed in spaces of functions, and those spaces are of in?nite dimension.: Contents note: Introduction: What Are Partial Differential Equations? -- The Laplace Equation as the Prototype of an Elliptic Partial Differential Equation of Second Order -- The Maximum Principle -- Existence Techniques I: Methods Based on the Maximum Principle -- Existence Techniques II: Parabolic Methods.
