The second edition of this book has a new title that more accurately reflects the table of contents. Over the past few years, many new results have been proven in the field of partial differential equations. This edition takes those new results into account, in particular the study of nonautonomous operators with unbounded coefficients, which has received great attention. Additionally, this edition is the first to use a unified approach to contain the new results in a singular place.


Semigroups of Bounded Operators and Second-Order Elliptic and Parabolic Partial Differential Equations aims to propose a unified approach to elliptic and parabolic equations with bounded and smooth coefficients. The book will highlight the connections between these equations and the theory of semigroups of operators, while demonstrating how the theory of semigroups represents a powerful tool to analyze general parabolic equations.
