Perspectives in Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations: In Honor of Haim Brezis

Honoring Brezis (U. P. and M. Curie, Paris) on the occasion of his 60th birthday at the 2004 Paris meeting of the American Mathematical Society, the volume begins with a speech-- untranslated from the French--delivered by this major influence on nonlinear analysis and partial differential equations. Berestycki (U. Paul Cézanne, Marseille, France) and other international mathematicians introduce this volume of 23 papers on the state of the art in this field. Contributors present new perspectives on multiple aspects of topics impacted by Brezis including nonlinear Schrödinger equations, contact form geometry, models of image processing, Sobolev maps, and game theory interpretations of nonlinear problems.
