Potential Theory and Degenerate Partial Differential Operators / Edition 1

by Marco Biroli

Overview

Recent years have witnessed an increasingly close relationship growing between potential theory, probability and degenerate partial differential operators. The theory of Dirichlet (Markovian) forms on an abstract finite or infinite-dimensional space is common to all three disciplines. This is a fascinating and important subject, central to many of the contributions to the conference on ‘Potential Theory and Degenerate Partial Differential Operators', held in Parma, Italy, February 1994.

Editorial Reviews

Eleven lectures presented at the Potential Theory and Degenerate Partial Differential Operators conference, Parma, Italy, February 1994, and partially published in Potential Analysis, v.4, no.4, 1995. The discussions illustrate the theory of Dirichlet (Markovian) forms on an abstract finite or infinite-dimensional space as a common denominator to the disciplines of potential theory, probability, and degenerate partial differential operators. Each lecture demonstrates theory with extensive calculations. Lacks an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
