This book presents a number of analytic inequalities and their applications in partial differential equations. These include integral inequalities, differential inequalities and difference inequalities, which play a crucial role in establishing (uniform) bounds, global existence, large-time behavior, decay rates and blow-up of solutions to various classes of evolutionary differential equations. Summarizing results from a vast number of literature sources such as published papers, preprints and books, it categorizes inequalities in terms of their different properties.

Yuming Qin, born in 1963, is a professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and the Institute for Nonlinear Science of Donghua University. His research interests are nonlinear evolutionary partial differential equations and their infinite dimensional dynamical systems. He finished more than 20 grants and is currently carrying out three grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and from the Shanghai Education Commission. Prof. Qin is presently on the editorial boards of four international journals and has published over 80 mathematical articles, among them more than 50 SCI articles, as well as four Birkhäuser monographs since 2008.
