This volume is a selection of contributions offered by friends, collaborators, past students in memory of Enrico Magenes. The first part gives a wide historical

This is the practical introduction to the analytical approach taken in Volume 2. Based upon courses in partial differential equations over the last two decades,

What makes this book stand out from the competition is that it is more computational. Once done with both volumes, readers will have the tools to attack a wider

The description of many interesting phenomena in science and engineering leads to infinite-dimensional minimization or evolution problems that define nonlinear

Finite element methods for approximating partial differential equations have reached a high degree of maturity, and are an indispensible tool in science and tec
