Energy Methods for Free Boundary Problems: Applications to Nonlinear PDEs and Fluid Mechanics

Overview

This book is an integrated account of modern developments in energy methods for the study of free boundary problems in partial differential equations. The theory presented has particular relevance to a number of physical applications, including heat conductivity, surface and underground water flow, gas flow, and gas filtration with absorption. The work can be divided into two parts. The first part is an exposition of the methods of several general classes of nonlinear stationary equations and systems, and the second part presents applications to the theory. +Energy Methods for Free Boundary Problems+ ((kursiv)) will appeal to applied mathematicians and graduate students whose research is in partial differential equations, nonlinear analysis, and continuum mechanics. Applications to a number of different problems arising in continuum mechanics (fluid dynamics) are presented making this book of equal interest to physicists and engineers as well.

The book contains some new unpublished results. It will appeal to researchers in partial differential equations, nonlinear analysis, and continuum mechanics. --Zentralblatt Math ... very important and useful monograph ... The book is addressed to pure or applied mathematicians at universities and in industry and also to graduate level students. All results are presented in a systematic and self-contained manner, precise proofs being usually sufficiently detailed. The topic makes the book appealing for any specialist interested in applications of energy methods for free boundary problems in nonlinear PDEs and fluid mechanics. --Mathematical Reviews The book...is a well-done selection of the most powerful energy methods - some of them very recent - used in the study of free boundary problems in nonlinear partial differential equations. Clearly and concisely written and containing a plenty of examples and applications, this monograph is of interset for all those mathematicians, or applied mathematicians, working in Partial Diffferential Equations, Nonlinear Analysis and Fluid Mechanics, physicists and engineers. ---Analele Stiintifice ale Auniversitatii ,,al.I. cuza din Iasi
