About this book

This graduate textbook provides a self-contained introduction to the classical theory of partial differential equations (PDEs). Through its careful selection of topics and engaging tone, readers will also learn how PDEs connect to cutting-edge research and the modeling of physical phenomena. The scope of the Third Edition greatly expands on that of the previous editions by including five new chapters covering additional PDE topics relevant for current areas of active research. This includes coverage of linear parabolic equations with measurable coefficients, parabolic DeGiorgi classes, Navier-Stokes equations, and more. The “Problems and Complements” sections have also been updated to feature new exercises, examples, and hints toward solutions, making this a timely resource for students.

Partial Differential Equations: Third Edition is ideal for graduate students interested in exploring the theory of PDEs and how they connect to contemporary research. It can also serve as a useful tool for more experienced readers who are looking for a comprehensive reference.

Reviews

“This is the third edition of a book In this third edition a good deal of new and more advanced material has been added ... . From edition to edition, this book has evolved into a rather specialized text. It is likely to be of more interest now to specialists than students new to the study of PDEs.” (Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews, February 29, 2024)

About the authors

Emanuele DiBenedetto (1947-2021) was Emeritus Centennial Professor of Mathematics at Vanderbilt University. His teaching and research at Vanderbilt focused on the study of partial differential equations, particularly the elliptic and parabolic ones. He was a prolific writer, authoring more than 120 papers and six books. He served as editor-in-chief of the Journal on Mathematical Analysis of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. In addition, he was on more than twenty editorial boards and gave numerous invited talks.

Ugo Gianazza is Professor of Mathematical Analysis at the Department of Mathematics F. Casorati of the University of Pavia. His research interests include Regularity for Elliptic and Parabolic Equations. In addition to editing numerous volumes, he also co-authored the 2012 monograph Harnack's Inequality for Degenerate and Singular Parabolic Equation.
