The long title of this book reflects in a good way its matter: to present a unified approach of new and technical results concerning eigenvalue problems involving indefinite weights. In an introductory chapter over 10 pages, the author gives a very interesting overview on this mathematical field and its literature. Then the chapter about modelling diffusion, drift, and corresponding boundary conditions follows. Here and in the whole book a lot of application-oriented material is included, belonging to stationary population dynamics with a density function subject to a diffusion matrix, a drift vector and a sign indefinite growth rate in a bounded region. The second chapter is dedicated to existence, coercivity and monotonicity results. In the third chapter elliptic indefinite eigenvalue problems are studied, where the drift is a gradient of an existing potential. So far only uniformly elliptic problems were considered. In the fourth chapter the author treats second-order elliptic problems which are degenerated on the boundary and he looks for smooth solutions. This chapter contains especially an interesting overview on older and recent results about degenerate elliptic and parabolic equations. The last chapter gives minimax formulations of the principal eigenvalue for non-selfadjoint elliptic problems with indefinite weigths and for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin boundary conditions. Finally, he shows that minimax is actually maximin and uses this to obtain two sided bounds for the principal eigenvalue. The book is written for graduate students and experts in this mathematical area. An expository Appendix is included for the benefit of beginners. Also researchers with interests in modelling aspects from engineering disciplines and natural sciences should find new ideas in this remarkable book.
