Preface

Since the 1980s, Fourier analysis methods have become of ever greater interest in the study of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. In particular, techniques based on Littlewood–Paley decomposition have proven to be very efficient in the study of evolution equations. Littlewood–Paley decomposition originates with Littlewood and Paley’s works in the early 1930s and provides an elementary device for splitting a (possibly rough) function into a sequence of spectrally well localized smooth functions. In particular, differentiation acts almost as a multiplication on each term of the sequence. However, its systematic use for nonlinear partial differential equations is rather recent. In this context, the main breakthrough was achieved after J.-M. Bony introduced the paradifferential calculus in his pioneering 1981 paper (see [39]) and
