Heinz Bauer (1928-2002) was one of the prominent figures in Convex Analysis and Potential Theory in the second half of the 20th century. The Bauer minimum principle and Bauer's work on Silov's boundary and the Dirichlet problem are milestones in convex analysis. Axiomatic potential theory owes him what is known by now as Bauer harmonic spaces. These Selecta collect more than twenty of Bauer's research papers including his seminal papers in Convex Analysis and Potential Theory. Above his research contributions Bauer is best known for his art of writing survey articles. Five of his surveys on different topics are reprinted in this volume. Among them is the well-known article Approximation and Abstract Boundary, for which he was awarded with the Chauvenet Price by the American Mathematical Association in 1980.

Relazione
"These papers are show not only the profoundess of Bauer's work, but also the clearness of his writing."Jean-Claud Thomas in: Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society 3/2008 "The present volume is designed to offer to the appreciative reader Bauer's main ideas and can be recommended to everybody interested in these fields. The mathematical community will surely find in it a wealth of material that is pleasurable to read."EMS Newsletter
