Review text

The book under review is an introduction to the theory of Sobolev spaces \(W^l_p \) which play a crucial role in courses of partial differential equations and of mathematical physics. It has been written on the basis of a course of lectures given by the author at the Novosibirsk State University. Chapter \(1\) recalls some basic definitions from analysis. Sobolev's averaging operators are introduced. Laplace and Fourier transformations are studied in detail in Sections \(3\) and \(4\). Chapter \(2\) is devoted to Sobolev spaces. The notion of generalized derivative, introduced by S. L. Sobolev, is defined in Section 5. Sections \(6\) and \(7\) are devoted to Sobolev spaces \(W^l_p\), \(\overset\circ W^l_p\), and to extension theorems. Laplace and Fourier operators in \(W^l_2\) are studied in Section 8. Classical embedding theorems for \(W^l_2\) are proven in Section 9. Traces of functions in \(W^l_2\) and pseudodifferential operators are discussed in Sections 10 and 11. Each chapter contains many exercises. The book may serve as a brief and clear introduction to the theory of Sobolev spaces.
