Introduction to Nonlinear Analysis

Zusatztext Review of the hardback: '? presents an introduction to critical point theory addressed to students with a modest background in Lebesgue integration and linear functional analysis. Many important methods from nonlinear analysis are introduced in a problem oriented way ? well written ? should be present in the library of any researcher interested in Lévy processes and Lie groups.' Zentralblatt MATH Klappentext A 2005 guide to solving non-linear problems, using simple exposition and easy proofs. Zusammenfassung The techniques used to solve non-linear problems differ greatly from those dealing with linear features. Deriving all the necessary theorems from first principles! this 2005 textbook should give upper undergraduates and graduate students a thorough understanding using as little background material as possible.
