The Bellman Function Technique in Harmonic Analysis (Hardcover)

Hardcover. The Bellman function, a powerful tool originating in control theory, can be used successfully in a large class of difficult harmonic analysis problems and has produced some notable results over the last thirty years. This book by two leading experts is the first devoted to the Bellman function method and its applications to various topics in probability and harmonic analysis. Beginning with basic concepts, the theory is introduced step-by-step starting with many examples of gradually increasing sophistication, culminating with CalderonZygmund operators and end-point estimates. All necessary techniques are explained in generality, making this book accessible to readers without specialized training in non-linear PDEs or stochastic optimal control. Graduate students and researchers in harmonic analysis, PDEs, functional analysis, and probability will find this to be an incisive reference, and can use it as the basis of a graduate course. From two leading experts, this is the first book on the Bellman function method and its applications to many topics in probability and harmonic analysis, and a reference for graduate students and researchers. Beginning with basic concepts, the examples increase in sophistication, culminating with CalderonZygmund operators and end-point estimates. This item is printed on demand.
