| Abstract: | This is the third edition of my textbook intended for students who wish to obtain an introduction to the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs, for short). Why is there a new edition? The answer is simple: I wanted to improve my book. Over the years, I have received much positive feedback from readers from all over the world. Nevertheless, when looking at the book or using it for courses or lectures, I always find some topics that are important, but not yet contained in the book, or I see places where the presentation could be improved. In fact, I also found two errors in Sect. 6.2, and several other corrections have been brought to my attention by attentive and careful readers. |
| Description: | This book can be utilized for a one-year course on PDEs, and if time does not allow all the material to be covered, one could omit certain sections and chapters, for example, Sect. 4.3 and the first part of Sect. 4.4 and Chap. 12. Also, Chap. 9 will not be needed for the rest of the book. Of course, the lecturer may also decide to omit Chap. 14 if he or she wishes to keep the treatment at a more elementary level. This book is based on various graduate courses that I have given at Bochum and Leipzig. I thank Antje Vandenberg for general logistic support, and of course also all the people who had helped me with the previous editions. They are listed in the previous prefaces, but I should repeat my thanks to Lutz Habermann and Knut Smoczyk here for their help with the first edition. Concerning corrections for the present edition, I would like to thank Andreas Schäfer for a very detailed and carefully compiled list of corrections. Also, I thank Lei Ni for pointing out that the statement of Lemma 5.3.2 needed a qualification. Finally, I thank my son Leonardo Jost for a discussion that leads to an improvement of the presentation in Sect. 11.3. I am also grateful to Tim Healey and his students Robert Kesler and Aaron Palmer for alerting me to an error in Sect. 13.1. |
