Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications

Philippe G. Ciarlet began his academic career at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, in 1974, and moved to City University of Hong Kong in 2002. He is a member of eight academies, including the French Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and of the Hong Kong Institution of Science, and he is a Fellow of SIAM and the AMS. Ciarlet is the recipient of a Grand Prize from the French Academy of Sciences and a Humboldt Research Award, as well as many other awards. He is Doctor Honoris Causa, or Honorary Professor, at eight universities and the author of 190 research papers and 15 books.
