Main description:
This is the third of three volumes on partial differential equations. It is devoted to nonlinear PDE. There are treatments of a number of equations of classical continuum mechanics, including relativistic versions. There are also treatments of various equations arising in differential geometry, such as in the study of minimal surfaces, isometric imbedding, conformal deformation, harmonic maps, and prescribed Gauss curvature. In addition, some nonlinear diffusion problems are studied. Analytical tools introduced in this volume include the theory of L^p Sobolev spaces, H lder spaces, Hardy spaces, and Morrey spaces, and also a development of Calderon-Zygmund theory and paradifferential operator calculus. The book is addressed to graduate students in mathematics and to professional mathematicians, with an interest in partial differential equations, mathematical physics, differential geometry, harmonic analysis and complex analysis.
Table of contents:
13) Function space and operator theory for nonlinear analysis; 14) Nonlinear elliptic equations; 15) Nonlinear parabolic equations; 16) Nonlinear hyperbolic equations; 17) Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids; 18) Einstein's equations

From the reviews:
"These volumes will be read by several generations of readers eager to learn the modern theory of partial differential equations of mathematical physics and the analysis in which this theory is rooted."(SIAM Review, June 1998)
From the reviews of the second edition:
"This substantial three-volume work is an upgraded version of the comprehensive qualitative analysis of partial differential equations presented in the earlier edition. ... Graduate students ... will find these three volumes to be not just a fine and rigorous treatment of the subject, but also a source of inspiration to apply their knowledge and ability to the solution of other challenging problems in the field of partial differential equations. ... an excellent text for all devotees of the charming and thought-provoking byways of higher mathematics." (Christian Constanda, The Mathematical Association of America, July, 2011)
