REVIEWS havior, e.g.regularity and asymptotic behavior.He also has a chapter on nonlinear equations, with emphasis both on the successive approximation theory associated with (7) and on monotone operator methods.(For recent results on equations such as (8), (9) see for instance Kato [1], [2].)The last chapter is concerned with optimal control theory.Tanabe's book is a good one.A lot of good material is gathered together and unified nicely.Notable features include a nice treatment of fractional powers of operators, a unified exposition of J.-L.Lions' variational approach with evolution operator theory, a sketch of higher order elliptic boundary problems in If spaces, 1 <p < oo, some nice applications of (nonlinear) monotone operator theory in reflexive Banach spaces, and more.Unfortunately, the book has some flaws.In many places the English is awkward and there are a number of errors, linguistic, typographical, and mathematical as well. 1 When the book again goes to press, either for a second edition or a new printing, the book will undoubtedly benefit from having the services of a conscientious and competent translation editor.
