Nonlinear Evolution Equations Global Behavior Of Solutions

This book mainly serves as an elementary, self-contained introduction to several important aspects of the theory of global solutions to initial value problems for nonlinear evolution equations. The book employs the classical method of continuation of local solutions with the help of a priori estimates obtained for small data. The existence and uniqueness of small, smooth solutions that are defined for all values of the time parameter are investigated. Moreover, the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions is described as time tends to infinity. The methods for nonlinear wave equations are discussed in detail. Other examples include the equations of elasticity, heat equations, the equations of thermoelasticity, Schrödinger equations, Klein-Gordon equations, Maxwell equations and plate equations. To emphasize the importance of studying the conditions under which small data problems offer global solutions, some blow-up results are briefly described. Moreover, the prospects for corresponding initial boundary value problems and for open questions are provided. In this second edition, initial-boundary value problems in waveguides are additionally considered.

Nonlinear evolution equations arise in many fields of sciences including physics, mechanics, and material science. This book introduces some important methods for dealing with these equations and explains clearly and concisely a wide range of relevant theories and techniques. These include the semigroup method, the compactness and monotone operator methods, the monotone iterative method and invariant regions, the global existence and uniqueness theory for small initial data, and the asymptotic behavior of solutions and global attractors. Many of the results are published in book form for the first time. Bibliographic comments in each chapter provide the reader with references and further reading materials to enable further research and study.

This book presents high-quality research from around the world on the theory and methods of linear or nonlinear evolution equations as well as their further applications. Equations dealing with the asymptotic behavior of solutions to evolution equations are included. The book also covers degenerate parabolic equations, abstract differential equations, comments on the Schrodinger equation, solutions in banach spaces, periodic and quasi-periodic solutions, concave Lagragian systems and integral equations.
