987654321 springer.com To the memory of Sergey L’vovich Sobolev on the occasion of his centenary Main Topics

Sobolev’s discoveries of the 1930’s have a strong influence on de- velopment of the theory of partial differential equations, analysis, mathematical physics, differential geometry, and other fields of math- ematics. The three-volume collection Sobolev Spaces in Mathematics presents the latest results in the theory of Sobolev spaces and appli- cations from leading experts in these areas.

I. Sobolev Type Inequalities In 1938, exactly 70 years ago, the original Sobolev (an embed- ding theorem) was published in the celebrated paper by S.L. Sobolev “On a theorem of functional analysis.” By now, the Sobolev inequality and its numerous versions continue to attract attention of researchers because of the central role played by such inequalities in the theory of partial differ- ential equations, mathematical physics, and many various areas of analysis and differential geometry. The volume presents the recent study of different Sobolev type inequalities, in particular, inequalities on manifolds, Carnot– Carath´eodory spaces, and metric measure spaces, trace inequalities, inequal- ities with weights, the sharpness of constants in inequalities, embedding theo- rems in domains with irregular boundaries, the behavior of maximal functions in Sobolev spaces, etc. Some unfamiliar settings of Sobolev type inequalities (for example, on graphs) are also discussed. The volume opens with the survey article “My Love Affair with the Sobolev Inequality” by David R. Adams.

II. Applications in Analysis and Partial Differential Equations Sobolev spaces become the established language of the theory of partial dif- ferential equations and analysis. Among a huge variety of problems where Sobolev spaces are used, the following important topics are in the focus of this volume: boundary value problems in domains with singularities, higher order partial differential equations, nonlinear evolution equations, local polynomial approximations, regularity for the Poisson equation in cones, harmonic func- tions, inequalities in Sobolev–Lorentz spaces, properties of function spaces in cellular domains, the spectrum of a Schr¨odinger operator with negative po- tential, the spectrum of boundary value problems in domains with cylindrical and quasicylindrical outlets to infinity, criteria for the complete integrability of systems of differential equations with applications to differential geome- try, some aspects of differential forms on Riemannian manifolds related to the Sobolev inequality, a Brownian motion on a Cartan–Hadamard manifold, etc. Two short biographical articles with unique archive photos of S.L. Sobolev are also included. viii Main Topics

III. Applications in Mathematical Physics The mathematical works of S.L. Sobolev were strongly motivated by particu- lar problems coming from applications. The approach and ideas of his famous book “Applications of Functional Analysis in Mathematical Physics” of 1950 turned out to be very influential and are widely used in the study of various problems of mathematical physics. The topics of this volume concern mathe- matical problems, mainly from control theory and inverse problems, describ- ing various processes in physics and mechanics, in particular, the stochastic Ginzburg–Landau model with white noise simulating the phenomenon of su- perconductivity in materials under low temperatures, spectral asymptotics for the magnetic Schr¨odinger operator, the theory of boundary controllabil- ity for models of Kirchhoff plate and the Euler–Bernoulli plate with various physically meaningful boundary controls, asymptotics for boundary value problems in perforated domains and bodies with different type defects, the Finsler metric in connection with the study of wave propagation, the electric impedance tomography problem, the dynamical Lam´e system with residual stress, etc. Contents
