Preface
The subject of this book is convergence of sequences in Banach spaces without a
given compact embedding, or more specifically, structural representation of such
sequences,knowninapplicationsasconcentrationcompactness,addressedonthe
functional-analyticlevel.
Concentrationcompactnessbecameastandardtoolofanalysisofpartialdiffer-
entialequationssincethepublicationofcelebratedpapers[83,84]byP.-L.Lions,fol-
lowedbytheprofiledecompositionapproachintroducedbyStruwe[119],generalized
togeneralsequencesinSobolevspacesbySolimini[112],andfurthergeneralizedto
sequencesinHilbertandBanachspaces,respectively,in[104]and[113].

framework of Chapter 4 – for nonreflexive spaces and for Sobolev spaces without
