Asymptotic Methods for Wave and Quantum Problems: Vol 208

Four papers on mathematical physics, all employing asymptotic methods, have been translated from Russian for this volume. The topics are the relations between quantization of symplectic manifolds and nonlinear wave processes, the propagation and interaction of nonlinear waves, a review of the theory of semiclassical approximation for nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations, and the calculation of a single eigenvalue and localized eigenstate using asymptotic methods. Each paper includes a list of references; there is no index. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
