Author Description

The Characteristic Method and Its Generalizations for First-Order Nonl inear Partial Differential Equations represents a comprehensive exposi tion of the authors' works over the last decade. The book is self-cont ained and assumes only basic measure theory, topology, and ordinary di fferential equations as prerequisites. With its innovative approach, n ew results, and many applications, it will prove valuable to mathemati cians, physicists, and engineers and especially interesting to researc hers in nonlinear PDEs, differential inequalities, multivalued analysi s, differential games, and related topics in applied analysis.
