This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The lectures presented in this book were given at the University of Bonn in the academic year 1983/4 and in part at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Their aim was to introduce graduate students of both mathematics and physics to the time dependent theory of linear equations of mathematical physics and to classical scattering theory. Using Hilbert space methods, the theory was developed so that the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions for large t could be discussed. The presentation of the theory is made using equations that are of particular interest for the mathematician and the physicist. The wave equation is considered, as are first order systems of linear acoustics and electromagnetism. This is followed by a discussion of a Schrodinger equation with a Coulomb potential, the equations of linear elasticity, the plate equation, and the equations of thermoelasticity. The reader is assumed to have a basic knowledge of functional analysis. However, for convenience, the required background is presented in the second chapter. 276 pp. Deutsch.

About this title

Synopsis

The lectures presented in this book were given at the University of Bonn in the academic year 1983/4 and in part at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. Their aim was to introduce graduate students of both mathematics and physics to the time- dependent theory of linear equations of mathematical physics and to classical scattering theory. Using Hilbert space methods, the theory was developed so that the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions for large t could be discussed. The presentation of the theory is made using equations that are of particular interest for the mathematician and the physicist. The wave equation is considered, as are first- order systems of linear acoustics and electromagnetism. This is followed by a discussion of a Schrodinger equation with a Coulomb potential, the equations of linear elasticity, the plate equation, and the equations of thermoelasticity. The reader is assumed to have a basic knowledge of functional analysis. However, for convenience, the required background is presented in the second chapter.
