Contents
The book provides a gentle introduction to
modern concepts of linear and nolinear functional analysis.
It is intended mainly for new graduate students in
mathematics and physics specializing in partial differential
equations and also for engineers who need a deeper
understanding of modern methods of applied functional
analysis. It may serve as a preparation for study of the
abundant scientific literature on the theory of
distributions, Sobolev spaces, elliptic equations and
nonlinear analysis. Its purpose is also to provide an
insight into the fascinating variety of deeply interlaced
mathematical tools applied in the study of nonlinear
problems.
It starts with a review of the basics of Lebesgue spaces and
Nemytzki operators. Special attention is paid to
distributions, Sobolev spaces, and their applications to the
study of elliptic boundary value problems. Some of the
methods of nonlinear analysis are illustrated by resonant
and nonresonant problems, lower semicontinuity and
convexity, energy functionals, monotone operators, reduction
method, Landesman - Lazer problems, jumping nonlinearities,
the Mountain-Pass theorem, and topological degree. The book
contains numerous examples and exercises, most of them with
detailed solutions and hints.
