The subject of the book is the mathematical theory of the discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM), which is a relatively new technique for the numerical solution of partial differential equations.

The description of many interesting phenomena in science and engineering leads to infinite-dimensional minimization or evolution problems that define nonlinear partial differential equations.

This is the soft cover reprint of the very popular hardcover edition. The book offers a simultaneous presentation of the theory and of the numerical treatment of elliptic problems.
