Interface Problems for Elliptic Second-Order Equations in Non-Smooth Domains

The goal of this book is to investigate the behavior of weak solutions to the elliptic interface problem in a neighborhood of boundary singularities: angular and conic points or edges. This problem is considered both for linear and quasi-linear equations, which are among the less studied varieties. As a second edition of Transmission Problems for Elliptic Second-Order Equations for Non-Smooth Domains (Birkhäuser, 2010), this volume includes two entirely new chapters: one about the oblique derivative problems for the perturbed p(x)-Laplacian equation in a bounded n-dimensional cone, and another about the existence of bounded weak solutions.

Researchers and advanced graduate students will appreciate this compact compilation of new material in the field.
