The Maximum Principle

Maximum principles are bedrock results in the theory of second order elliptic equations. This principle, simple enough in essence, lends itself to a quite remarkable number of subtle uses when combined appropriately with other notions. Intended for a wide audience, the book provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of the various maximum principles available in elliptic theory, from their beginning for linear equations to recent work on nonlinear and singular equations.Pucci, Patrizia is the author of 'The Maximum Principle', published 2007 under ISBN 9783764381448 and ISBN 3764381442.
