Partial Differential Equations

This three-part treatment focuses on elliptic and evolution equations. Largely self-contained, this volume concludes with a series of independent topics related to the methods and results of preceding sections and introduces advanced topics for further study. Geared toward graduate and postgraduate students, it also constitutes a valuable reference for professionals. 1969 edition.
