Description and Table of Contents

Description

This, the fourth edition of Stuwe's book on the calculus of variations, surveys new developments in this exciting field. It also gives a concise introduction to variational methods. In particular it includes the proof for the convergence of the Yamabe flow and a detailed treatment of the phenomenon of blow-up. Recently discovered results for backward bubbling in the heat flow for harmonic maps or surfaces are discussed. A number of changes have been made throughout the text.

Table of Contents

The Direct Methods in the Calculus of Variations.- Minimax Methods.- Limit Cases of the Palais-Smale Condition.
