Description for The Complex WKB Method for Nonlinear Equations I: Linear Theory (Progress in Mathematical Physics) (v. 1)
Hardcover. Includes examples of applications to physics. This title uses topological methods to analyze isotropic invariant manifolds in order to obtain asymptotic series of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the multi-dimensional Schrodinger equation, and also takes into account the so-called tunnel effects. It reviews finite-dimensional linear theory. Translator(s): Shishkova, M.A.; Sossinsky, A. B. Series: Progress in Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 304 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKD; PBKJ; PBM; PBP; PBW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 166 x 242 x 25. Weight in Grams: 628.
This book deals with asymptotic solutions of linear and nonlinear equa- tions which decay as h ---+ 0 outside a neighborhood of certain points, curves and surfaces. Such solutions are almost everywhere well approximated by the functions cp(x) exp{iS(x)/h}, x E 1R3, where S(x) is complex, and ImS(x) ~ o. When the phase S(x) is real (ImS(x) = 0), the method for obtaining asymp- totics of this type is known in quantum mechanics as the WKB-method. We preserve this terminology in the case ImS(x) ~ 0 and develop the method for a wide class of problems in mathematical physics. Asymptotics ... Read more
