Jana Björn

Professor

Research

I work in the area Analysis on metric spaces and study, in particular, p-harmonic functions, quasiminimizers and Newtonian Sobolev spaces on metric spaces, including Rⁿ. I belong to the group in Nonlinear Potential Theory.
Here you can find a list of my publications (along with the publications of the others in our group).
Here is a popular scientific description of our research in English and Swedish.

Nonlinear Potential Theory

The research group is mainly interested in analysis on metric spaces, and in particular nonlinear potential theory associated with p-harmonic functions and quasiminimizers in Euclidean and metric spaces.

Differential Equations and Analysis on Metric Spaces

Differential equations describe many real-world phenomena but can rarely be solved exactly. We therefore study properties of their solutions in other ways, in very general situations, similarly to creating an identikit of an unknown criminal.
