An Introduction to Sobolev Spaces and Interpolation Spaces

Luc Tartar (auth.)9783540714828, 3-540-71482-0

After publishing an introduction to the Navier–Stokes equation and oceanography (Vol. 1 of this series), Luc Tartar follows with another set of lecture notes based on a graduate course in two parts, as indicated by the title. A draft has been available on the internet for a few years. The author has now revised and polished it into a text accessible to a larger audience.
