This book shows how four types of higher-order nonlinear evolution PDEs have many commonalities through their special quasilinear degenerate representations. The authors present a unified approach to deal with these quasilinear PDEs, describe many properties of the equations, and examine traditional questions of existence/nonexistence, uniqueness/nonuniqueness, global asymptotics, regularizations, shock-wave theory, and various blow-up singularities. The book illustrates how complex PDEs are used in a variety of applications and describes new nonlinear phenomena for the equations.
