Calculus of Variations and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations: Lectures given at the C.I.M.E. Summer School held in Cetraro, Italy, June 27 - July 2, 2005

by Luigi Ambrosio, Luis A. Caffarelli, Michael G. Crandall

This volume provides the texts of lectures given by L. Ambrosio, L. Caffarelli, M. Crandall, L.C. Evans, N. Fusco at the Summer course held in Cetraro, Italy in 2005. These are introductory reports on current research by world leaders in the fields of calculus of variations and partial differential equations. Coverage includes transport equations for nonsmooth vector fields, viscosity methods for the infinite Laplacian, and geometrical aspects of symmetrization.
