Partial Differential Equations III: Nonlinear Equations

This volume is devoted to nonlinear PDE. There are treatments of equations arising in classical continuum mechanics, such as vibrating strings and membranes, and fluid flows. We also treat equations arising in differential geometry, nonlinear diffusion, and general relativity. Analytical tools introduced for these studies include Lp-Sobolev spaces, Morrey spaces, Hardy spaces, the Calderon-Zygmund theory, and paradifferential operator calculus, as well as more classical techniques such as energy estimates and maximum principles.
