Local Minimization, Variational Evolution and Γ-Convergence by Andrea Braides

By Andrea Braides

This publication addresses new questions relating to the asymptotic description of converging energies from the point of view of neighborhood minimization and variational evolution. It explores the hyperlinks among Gamma-limits, quasistatic evolution, gradient flows and solid issues, elevating new questions and featuring new ideas. those comprise the definition of powerful energies that preserve the trend of neighborhood minima, the advent of notions of convergence of energies suitable with strong issues, the computation of homogenized motions at serious time-scales in the course of the definition of minimizing move alongside a chain of energies, using scaled energies to review long term habit or backward movement for variational evolutions. The notions explored within the booklet are associated with current findings for gradient flows, lively options and native minimizers, for which a few generalizations also are proposed.

Upper and Lower Bounds for Stochastic Processes: Modern Methods and Classical Problems (Ergebnisse der Mathematik und ihrer Grenzgebiete. 3. Folge / A Series of Modern Surveys in Mathematics)

The booklet develops glossy equipment and particularly the "generic chaining" to certain stochastic strategies. This equipment permits particularly to get optimum bounds for Gaussian and Bernoulli techniques. functions are given to good tactics, infinitely divisible approaches, matching theorems, the convergence of random Fourier sequence, of orthogonal sequence, and to sensible research.

Evolution PDEs with Nonstandard Growth Conditions: Existence, Uniqueness, Localization, Blow-up (Atlantis Studies in Differential Equations)

This monograph deals the reader a therapy of the idea of evolution PDEs with nonstandard progress stipulations. This type comprises parabolic and hyperbolic equations with variable or anisotropic nonlinear constitution. We increase tools for the examine of such equations and current a close account of contemporary effects.
