Download or read book Theorems on Regularity and Singularity of Energy Minimizing Maps written by Leon Simon and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-03-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of these lecture notes is to give an essentially self-contained introduction to the basic regularity theory for energy minimizing maps, including recent developments concerning the structure of the singular set and asymptotics on approach to the singular set. Specialized knowledge in partial differential equations or the geometric calculus of variations is not required; a good general background in mathematical analysis would be adequate preparation.
