Fonseca is the co-author of:
- Degree Theory in Analysis and Applications (with Wilfrid Gangbo, Oxford University Press, 1995)[4]
- Modern Methods in the Calculus of Variations: LP Spaces (with , Springer Verlag, 2007)[5]
Awards and honors[]
Fonseca is a knight of the Order of Saint James of the Sword.[2] In 2009, Fonseca was elected as a fellow of SIAM "for contributions to nonlinear partial differential equations and the calculus of variations".[6] In 2012 she became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[7]
