This book is dedicated to the qualitative theory of the stochastic one-dimensional Burgers equation with small viscosity under periodic boundary conditions and to interpreting the obtained results in terms of one-dimensional turbulence in a fictitious one-dimensional fluid described by the Burgers equation. The properties of one-dimensional turbulence which we rigorously derive are then compared with the heuristic Kolmogorov theory of hydrodynamical turbulence, known as the K41 theory. It is shown, in particular, that these properties imply natural one-dimensional analogues of three principal laws of the K41 theory: the size of the Kolmogorov inner scale, the 2/3 2/3-law, and the Kolmogorov–Obukhov law. The first part of the book deals with the stochastic Burgers equation, including the inviscid limit for the equation, its asymptotic in time behavior, and a theory of generalised L 1 L1-solutions. This section makes a self-consistent introduction to stochastic PDEs. The relative simplicity of the model allows us to present in a light form many of the main ideas from the general theory of this field. The second part, dedicated to the relation of one-dimensional turbulence with the K41 theory, could serve for a mathematical reader as a rigorous introduction to the literature on hydrodynamical turbulence, all of which is written on a physical level of rigor.

The book summarizes several mathematical aspects of the vanishing viscosity method and considers its applications in studying dynamical systems such as dissipative systems, hyperbolic conversion systems and nonlinear dispersion systems. Including original research results, the book demonstrates how to use such methods to solve PDEs and is an essential reference for mathematicians, physicists and engineers working in nonlinear science.

In the past few years there has been a fruitful exchange of expertise on the subject of partial differential equations (PDEs) between mathematicians from the People's Republic of China and the rest of the world. The goal of this collection of papers is to summarize and introduce the historical progress of the development of PDEs in China from the 1950s to the 1980s. The results presented here were mainly published before the 1980s, but, having been printed in the Chinese language, have not reached the wider audience they deserve. Topics covered include, among others, nonlinear hyperbolic equations, nonlinear elliptic equations, nonlinear parabolic equations, mixed equations, free boundary problems, minimal surfaces in Riemannian manifolds, microlocal analysis and solitons. For mathematicians and physicists interested in the historical development of PDEs in the People's Republic of China.

The goal of the book is to extend classical regularity theorems for solutions of linear elliptic partial differential equations to the context of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. This class of equations often arises in control theory, optimization, and other applications. The authors give a detailed presentation of all the necessary techniques. Instead of treating these techniques in their greatest generality, they outline the key ideas and prove the results needed for developing the subsequent theory. Topics discussed in the book include the theory of viscosity solutions for nonlinear equations, the Alexandroff estimate and Krylov-Safonov Harnack-type inequality for viscosity solutions, uniqueness theory for viscosity solutions, Evans and Krylov regularity theory for convex fully nonlinear equations, and regularity theory for fully nonlinear equations with variable coefficients.
