Synopsis
This is the first of two books on methods and techniques in the calculus of variations. Contemporary arguments are used throughout the text to streamline and present in a unified way classical results, and to provide novel contributions at the forefront of the theory. This book addresses fundamental questions related to lower semicontinuity and relaxation of functionals within the unconstrained setting, mainly in L^p spaces. It prepares the ground for the second volume where the variational treatment of functionals involving fields and their derivatives will be undertaken within the framework of Sobolev spaces. This book is self-contained. All the statements are fully justified and proved, with the exception of basic results in measure theory, which may be found in any good textbook on the subject. It also contains several exercises. Therefore,it may be used both as a graduate textbook as well as a reference text for researchers in the field. Irene Fonseca is the Mellon College of Science Professor of Mathematics and is currently the Director of the Center for Nonlinear Analysis in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research interests lie in the areas of continuum mechanics, calculus of variations, geometric measure theory and partial differential equations. Giovanni Leoni is also a professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. He focuses his research on calculus of variations, partial differential equations and geometric measure theory with special emphasis on applications to problems in continuum mechanics and in materials science., This volume presents in a unified way both classical and contemporary results in the calculus of variations., This book is a unified presentation of both classical and contemporary results in the calculus of variations. It offers a comprehensive analysis of necessary and sufficient conditions for sequential lower semicontinuity of functionals on Lp spaces, followed by relaxation techniques. In recent years there has been a remarkable and renewed interest in this area, motivated in part by applications of allied disciplines. Based on a series of lectures by Irene Fonseca at Carnegie Mellon University, this book was written in response to the need to bring together in one volume contemporary developments in the calculus of variations. Because it is largely self-contained, the book will appeal to non-specialists and new students in this discipline. It is intended for use as a graduate text and as a reference for more experienced researchers working in the area., This book presents in a unified way both classical and contemporary results in the Calculus of Variations. It brings together in one place the contemporary developments in the calculus of variations based on a series of lectures at Carnegie Mellon University., In recent years there has been renewed interest in the calculus of variations, motivated in part by ongoing research in materials science and other dis- plines.

This is the essence of the calculus of variations: the identi'cation of nec- sary and su'cient conditions on the functionalI that guarantee the existence of minimizers. These rest on certain growth, coercivity, and convexity con- tions, which often fail to be satis'ed in the context of interesting applications, thusrequiringtherelaxationoftheenergy.Newideaswereneeded,andthe- troduction of innovative techniques has resulted in remarkable developments in the subject over the past twenty years, somewhat scattered in articles, preprints, books, or available only through oral communication, thus making it di'cult to educate young researchers in this area. This is the ?rst of two books in the calculus of variations and measure theory in which many results, some now classical and others at the forefront of research in the subject, are gathered in a uni'ed, consistent way. A main concern has been to use contemporary arguments throughout the text to - visit and streamline well-known aspects of the theory, while providing novel contributions.

    It came in perfect condition and it came exactly within the timeframe. It was packaged very well with two layers of bubble wrap. The item was exactly what I ordered. The value was a bit high but considering that I couldn’t find it literally anywhere else it’s fair.
