Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations

http://www.springerlink.com/content/100507/

This electronic version of the print journal of the same name is published
on the web by Springer Berlin Heidelberg. It seeks to attract and collect
many of the important top-quality contributions to this field of research,
and stress the interactions between analysts, geometers, and physicists.
Moreover, it offers an opportunity for communication among scientists
working in the field through a section "News and Views" which is open to
discussions, announcements of meetings, reproductions of historical
documents, bibliographies etc. The field of Calculus of Variations and
Partial Differential Equations is extensive; nonetheless, the journal will
be open to all interesting new developments. 

Topics to be covered include: 

Minimization problems for variational integrals, existence and regularity
theory for minimizers and critical points, geometric measure theory; 
Variational methods for partial differential equations, linear and
nonlinear eigenvalue problems, bifurcation theory;  Variational problems
in differential and complex geometry, such as geodesics, minimal surfaces,
harmonic mappings, critical points of curvature integrals, Einstein
equations, Yang-Mills fields;  Variational methods in global analysis and
topology: Morse theory, Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory, flows generated by
variational integrals and parabolic equations, index theorems, integral
invariants;  Dynamical systems, symplectic geometry, periodic solutions of
Hamiltonian systems;  Variational methods in mathematical physics,
nonlinear elasticity, crystals, asymptotic variational problems,
homogenization, capillarity phenomena, free boundary problems and phase
transitions;  Monge-Ampère equations and other fully nonlinear partial
differential equations related to problems in differential geometry,
complex geometry, and physics.
