Riassunto:

This book presents in a unified way both classical and contemporary results in the Calculus of Variations. It brings together in one place the contemporary developments in the calculus of variations based on a series of lectures  at Carnegie Mellon University.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

"This book is intended as a graduate textbook and reference for those who work in the modern calculus of variations. ... interesting examples and exercises help to keep the reader on track. Several open problems are indicated as well. ... excellent presentation." (Erik J. Balder, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 m)

"This book is the first of two volumes in the calculus of variations and measure theory. The main objective of this book is to introduce necessary and sufficient conditions for sequential lower semicontinuity of functionals on Lp-spaces. ... This book is very nicely written, self-contained and it is an excellent and modern introduction to the calculus of variations." (Jean-Pierre Raymond, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1153, 2009)

“This is the first of a two-volume introduction into direct methods in the calculus of variations. Its main topic is the analysis of necessary and sufficient conditions for lower semicontinuity on Lp-spaces, as well as of relaxation techniques. ... The book provides a well-written and self-contained introduction to an active area of research and will be valuable both to graduate students as an introduction and to researchers in the field as a reference work.” (M. Kunzinger, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 156 (4), April, 2009)
