This encyclopedic work covers Partial Differential Equations of the elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic type in two and several variables. While partial differential equations are solved via integral representations in the preceding volume, this second volume uses functional analytic solution methods.
This comprehensive two-volume textbook presents the whole area of Partial Differential Equations - of the elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic type - in two and several variables. Special emphasis is put on the connection of PDEs and complex variable methods.
In this second volume the following topics are treated: Solvability of operator equations in Banach spaces, Linear operators in Hilbert spaces and spectral theory, Schauder's theory of linear elliptic differential equations, Weak solutions of differential equations, Nonlinear partial differential equations and characteristics, Nonlinear elliptic systems with differential-geometric applications. While partial differential equations are solved via integral representations in the preceding volume, functional analytic methods are used in this volume.
This textbook can be chosen for a course over several semesters on a medium level. Advanced readers may study each chapter independently from the others.
Connects clearly PDEs and complex variable methods
The exposition is very careful and readable
Encyclopedia-like book on the subject

From the reviews:
“The author’s aim is to present the entire domain Partial Differential Equations to students at an intermediate level. … it is a carefully written treatise and with its quite non-standard choice of topics provides a welcome addition to the textbook literature on partial differential equations.” (M. Kunzinger, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 154 (1), May, 2008)
