Description and Table of Contents
Description
* Introduces a state-of-the-art method for the study of the asymptotic behavior of solutions to evolution partial differential equations.
* Written by established mathematicians at the forefront of their field, this blend of delicate analysis and broad application is ideal for a course or seminar in asymptotic analysis and nonlinear PDEs.
* Well-organized text with detailed index and bibliography, suitable as a course text or reference volume.
