“The subject of this monograph is related to the relationship between large classes of partial differential equations or evolutionary systems and energy functionals associated with them. Examples include transport equations, porous media equations, and Navier-Stokes evolution equations. … This well-written book contains a large amount of material. It can be useful for graduate students and researchers interested in modern aspects of the calculus of variations with powerful applications to the qualitative analysis of partial differential equations.” (Vicenţiu D. Rădulescu, zbMATH 1357.49004, 2017)
