Produktinformationen zu „Topics in the Calculus of Variations / Advanced Lectures in Mathematics (PDF)“

This book illustrates two basic principles in the calculus of variations which are the question of existence of solutions and closely related the problem of regularity of minimizers. Chapter one studies variational problems for nonquadratic energy functionals defined on suitable classes of vectorvalued functions where also nonlinear constraints are incorporated. Problems of this type arise for mappings between Riemannian manifolds or in nonlinear elasticity. Using direct methods the existence of generalized minimizers is rather easy to establish and it is then shown that regularity holds up to a set of small measure. Chapter two contains a short introduction into Geometric Measure Theory which serves as a basis for developing an existence theory for (generalized) manifolds with prescribed mean curvature form and boundary in arbitrary dimensions and codimensions. One major aspect of the book is to concentrate on techniques and to present methods which turn out to be useful for applications in regularity theorems as well as for existence problems.
