An Introduction to Microlocal Analysisby Richard B. Melrose, Gunther Uhlmann - MIT
The origin of scattering theory is the study of quantum mechanical systems. The scattering theory for perturbations of the flat Laplacian is discussed with the approach via the solution of the Cauchy problem for the corresponding perturbed equation.

Lectures on Elliptic Partial Differential Equationsby J.L. Lions - Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
In these lectures we study the boundary value problems associated with elliptic equation by using essentially L2 estimates (or abstract analogues of such estimates). We consider only linear problem, and we do not study the Schauder estimates.
