Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to emphasize some standard material in functional analysis and the theory of partial differential equations which will be particularly useful in subsequent chapters. In addition, a brief survey of applications is given in Sect. 2.7. Specialists in partial differential equations may prefer to skip Sects. 2.1– 2.6 of this chapter.
