Description for Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations (Courant Lecture Notes)
Paperback. The theory of hyperbolic equations is a large subject, and its applications are many: fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, the theory of elasticity, optics, electromagnetic waves, direct and inverse scattering, and the general theory of relativity. This book presents an introduction to various facets of the theory. Series: Courant Lecture Notes. Num Pages: 217 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBKJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 257 x 182 x 15. Weight in Grams: 408.
The theory of hyperbolic equations is a large subject, and its applications are many: fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, the theory of elasticity, optics, electromagnetic waves, direct and inverse scattering, and the general theory of relativity. This book is an introduction to most facets of the theory and is an ideal text for a second-year graduate course on the subject. The first part deals with the basic theory: the relation of hyperbolicity to the finite propagation of signals, the concept and role of characteristic surfaces and rays, energy, and energy inequalities. The structure of solutions of equations with constant coefficients is ... Read more
