partial differential equations and applications: Collected Papers in Honor of Carlo Pucci

by Giorgio Talenti (Editor), Edoardo Vesentini (Editor), Paolo Marcellini (Editor)

Overview

Written as a tribute to the mathematician Carlo Pucci on the occasion of his 70th birthday, this is a collection of authoritative contributions from over 45 internationally acclaimed experts in the field of partial differential equations. Papers discuss a variety of topics such as problems where a partial differential equation is coupled with unfavourable boundary or initial conditions, and boundary value problems for partial differential equations of elliptic type.
