Aims & Scope
Calculus of variations is one of the oldest areas of mathematics, with a wide range of applications, e.g., geometry, mathematical physics, numerical solution of partial differential equations. The journal 'Advances in Calculus of Variations' will be a journal publishing high quality original research focusing on that part of calculus of variation and related applications which combine tools and methods from partial differential equations with geometrical techniques.
In particular the journal will include the following topics: existence and regularity for minimizers and critical points; variational methods for partial differential equations; geometrical aspects of calculus of variation: minimal surfaces, harmonic mappings, geometrically motivated flows, curvature equations, quasi-conformal mappings; applications of variational methods to non-linear elasticity, free boundary problems, general relativity; geometric measure theory
