Hyperbolic Conservation Laws in Continuum Physics (Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften)
From the reviews of the second edition:"The second edition of the famous book Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften 325 is devoted to the mathematical theory of hyperbolic conservation and balance laws. The author is known as one of the leading experts in the field. His masterly written book is, surely, the most complete exposition in the subject of conservations laws. … the original text has been reorganized so as to streamline the exposition, enrich the collection of examples, and improve the notation. … The bibliography has been considerably expanded … ." (Evgeniy Panov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1078, 2006)"This comprehensive book is about rigorous mathematical theory of balance and conservation laws … . The statements of theorems are carefully and precisely written. The proofs are canonical and illuminating … . This book is sure to convince every reader that working in this area is challenging, enlightening, and joyful. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the foundations of the theory of balance and conservation laws and their generic relations to continuum physics … ." (Katarina Jegdic, SIAM Review, Vol. 48 (3), 2006)From the reviews of the third edition:“Covers the existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence, and qualitative behavior of entropy solutions for, successively, scalar conservation laws, systems of two conservation laws, and general strictly hyperbolic systems. … This book is now widely recognized as the ‘Bible’ on hyperbolic conservation laws, and has contributed to the training of many students while providing a huge amount of invaluable information (including a 100 page bibliography) for researchers working in this field or related areas.” (Philippe G. LeFloch, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 i)“The third edition of the famous book by C. M. Dafermos … devoted to the mathematical theory of hyperbolic conservation and balance laws. This masterly written book is, surely, the most entire exposition in the subject of conservation laws.”­­­ (Evgeniy Panov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1196, 2010)
