Reviews
From the book reviews: This 368-page book provides an excellent introduction to the spectral and nonlinear stability theory of nonlinear waves in one-dimensional domains. It is aimed primarily at graduate students, but it can certainly also be used by postdocs and other researchers who are interested in learning more about this area. ... this book covers a broad range of topics in an area for which not many alternatives exist: the book is, in my opinion, an excellent addition to the literature. (Bjorn Sandstede, Dynamical Systems Magazine, dynamicalsystems.org, April, 2014) The book under review focuses on stability of the equilibria of evolution equations. ... The book consists of two parts. ... Each chapter contains exercises, bibliographic comments and additional reading information. The reviewer evaluates the book as a significant achievement and recommends it to all interested readers. (Radu Precup, zbMATH, Vol. 1297, 2014) This book by Kapitula and Promislow provides a quite unique entry point into this area, suitable for graduate students and young researchers who are interested in entering the field. ... An extensive bibliography and plenty of remarks at chapter endings then serve as a guide to history and current literature. This field has needed such a book as an entry point for graduate students, and the authors deserve a huge thanks from the community for putting it together. (Arnd Scheel, SIAM Review, Vol. 56 (3), 2014)
