This second edition is the successor to "Direct methods in the calculus of variations" which was published in the Applied Mathematical Sciences series and is currently out of print. Although the core and the structure of the present book is similar to the first edition, it is much more than a revised version. Fifteen years have passed since the publication of the "Direct methods in the calculus of variations" book and since the subject is a very active one, almost half of the book presently consists of new material. The perspective has also slightly changed, indeed, a new subject, "quasiconvex analysis" has now been developed. The present edition, which is essentially a reference book on the subject of quasiconvex analysis can be used, as was the earlier book, for an advanced course on the calculus of variations.

From the Back Cover

This book studies vectorial problems in the calculus of variations and quasiconvex analysis. It is a new edition of the earlier book published in 1989 and has been updated with some new material and examples added.

This monograph will appeal to researchers and graduate students in mathematics and engineering.
