Abstract:
This handbook is the fifth volume in the series devoted to stationary partial differential
equations. As the preceding volumes, it is a collection of self-contained, state-of-the-art
surveys written by well-known experts in the field.
The topics covered by this volume include in particular semilinear and superlinear elliptic systems, the fibering method for nonlinear variational problems, some nonlinear eigenvalue problems, the studies of the stationary Boltzmann equation and the Gierer–Meinhardt
system. I hope that these surveys will be useful for both beginners and experts and help to
the diffusion of these recent deep results in mathematical science.
I would like to thank all the contributors for their elegant articles. I also thank Lauren
Schultz Yuhasz and Mara Vos-Sarmiento at Elsevier for the excellent editing work of this
volume.
