About this title

Synopsis

This book collects invited contributions by specialists in the domain of elliptic partial differential equations and geometric flows. The articles provide a balance between introductory surveys and the most recent research, with a unique perspective on singular phenomena. Notions such as scans and the study of the evolution by curvature of networks of curves are completely new and lead the reader to the frontiers of the domain.

The intended readership are postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations that arise from variational problems, as well as researchers in related fields such as particle physics and optimization.
