Variational Analysis in Sobolev and BV Spaces: Applications to PDEs and Optimization

This self-contained book is excellent for graduate-level courses devoted to variational analysis, optimization, and partial differential equations (PDEs). It provides readers with a complete guide to problems in these fields as well as a detailed presentation of the most important tools and methods of variational analysis. New trends in variational analysis are also presented, along with recent developments and applications in this area. It contains several applications to problems in geometry, …
