Concentration Compactness: Functional-Analytic Theory of Concentration Phenomena: 33 (De Gruyter Series in Nonlinear Analysis & Applications, 33)

Concentration compactness methods are applied to PDE's that lack compactness properties, typically due to the scaling invariance of the underlying problem.This monograph presents a systematic functional-analytic presentation of concentration mechanisms and is by far the most extensive and systematic collection of mathematical tools for analyzing the convergence of functional sequences via the mechanism of concentration.
