This book gives an introduction to distribution theory, in the spirit of Laurent Schwartz. Additionally, the aim is to show how the theory is combined with the study of operators in Hilbert space by methods of functional analysis, with applications to partial and ordinary differential equations. Here, the author provides an introduction to unbounded operators in Hilbert space, including a complete theory of extensions of operators, and applications using contraction semigroups. In more advanced parts of the book, the author shows how distribution theory is used to define pseudodifferential operators on manifolds, and gives a detailed introduction to the pseudodifferential boundary operator calculus initiated by Boutet de Monvel, which allows a modern treatment of elliptic boundary value problems. This book is aimed at graduate students, as well as researchers interested in its special topics, and as such, the author provides careful explanations along with complete proofs, and a bibliography of relevant books and papers. Each chapter has been enhanced with many exercises and examples. Unique topics include: * the interplay between distribution theory and concrete operators; * families of extensions of nonselfadjoint operators; * an illustration of the solution maps between distribution spaces by a fully worked out constant-coefficient case; * the pseudodifferential boundary operator calculus; * the Calderón projector and its applications. Gerd Grubb is Professor of Mathematics at University of Copenhagen.

The main change in this edition is the inclusion of exercises with answers and hints. This is meant to emphasize that this volume has been written as a general course in modern analysis on a graduate student level and not only as the beginning of a specialized course in partial differen­ tial equations. In particular, it could also serve as an introduction to harmonic analysis. Exercises are given primarily to the sections of gen­ eral interest; there are none to the last two chapters. Most of the exercises are just routine problems meant to give some familiarity with standard use of the tools introduced in the text. Others are extensions of the theory presented there. As a rule rather complete though brief solutions are then given in the answers and hints. To a large extent the exercises have been taken over from courses or examinations given by Anders Melin or myself at the University of Lund. I am grateful to Anders Melin for letting me use the problems originating from him and for numerous valuable comments on this collection. As in the revised printing of Volume II, a number of minor flaws have also been corrected in this edition. Many of these have been called to my attention by the Russian translators of the first edition, and I wish to thank them for our excellent collaboration.

This volume is dedicated to the centenary of the outstanding mathematician of the XXth century Sergey Sobolev and, in a sense, to his celebrated work On a theorem of functional analysis published in 1938, exactly 70 years ago, where the original Sobolev inequality was proved. This double event is a good case to gather experts for presenting the latest results on the study of Sobolev inequalities which play a fundamental role in analysis, the theory of partial differential equations, mathematical physics, and differential geometry. In particular, the following topics are discussed: Sobolev type inequalities on manifolds and metric measure spaces, traces, inequalities with weights, unfamiliar settings of Sobolev type inequalities, Sobolev mappings between manifolds and vector spaces, properties of maximal functions in Sobolev spaces, the sharpness of constants in inequalities, etc. The volume opens with a nice survey reminiscence My Love Affair with the Sobolev Inequality by David R. Adams. Contributors include: David R. Adams (USA); Daniel Aalto (Finland) and Juha Kinnunen (Finland); Sergey Bobkov (USA) and Friedrich Götze (Germany); Andrea Cianchi (Italy); Donatella Danielli (USA), Nicola Garofalo (USA), and Nguyen Cong Phuc (USA); David E.

The mathematical works of S.L.Sobolev were strongly motivated by particular problems coming from applications. In his celebrated book Applications of Functional Analysis in Mathematical Physics, 1950 and other works, S.Sobolev introduced general methods that turned out to be very influential in the study of mathematical physics in the second half of the XXth century. This volume, dedicated to the centenary of S.L. Sobolev, presents the latest results on some important problems of mathematical physics describing, in particular, phenomena of superconductivity with random fluctuations, wave propagation, perforated domains and bodies with defects of different types, spectral asymptotics for Dirac energy, Lam'e system with residual stress, optimal control problems for partial differential equations and inverse problems admitting numerous interpretations. Methods of modern functional analysis are essentially used in the investigation of these problems. Contributors include: Mikhail Belishev (Russia); Andrei Fursikov (Russia), Max Gunzburger (USA), and Janet Peterson (USA); Victor Isakov (USA) and Nanhee Kim (USA); Victor Ivrii (Canada); Irena Lasiecka (USA) and Roberto Triggiani (USA); Vladimir Maz'ya (USA-UK-Sweden) and Alexander Movchan (UK); Michael Taylor (USA).

This book examines the transformation of the traditional workplace and responds to the demand for fresh approaches to the challenges faced by managers in designing knowledge services. Rapid technological development and changing economic conditions have asserted significant influence on the work landscape for both workers and management; most notably, that the means of production are controlled by workers themselves. The response is a growing awareness that the work landscape for knowledge services can no longer be effectively managed by relying on the traditional hierarchical paradigm. Given these current challenges, the design framework presented in this book is based on internal market principles along with customer integration into the boundaries of the organization. This framework initiates new and effective ways of designing knowledge services for sustained competitive advantage. The indispensable role of customer/client in the operations of these organizations is examined, as is the creation of the "Proventure Workplace", a work environment which accentuates jobs requiring rich cognitive skills for continuing innovation and creativity. By adopting an internal market perspective the firm can integrate the science and art of management with the design realities of contemporary knowledge services. Knowledge Services Management provides valuable tools for readers involved in all aspects of knowledge services from researchers to managers and students alike.
