Lectures on the Energy Critical Nonlinear Wave Equation - Kenig, Carlos E.

Examines recent advances in the study of the long-time asymptotics of large solutions to critical nonlinear dispersive equations. The first part of the monograph describes, in the context of the energy critical wave equation, the "concentration-compactness/rigidity theorem method". The second part of the monograph describes the ``channel of energy'' method.
