Pseudo-Differential Operators: Complex Analysis and Partial Differential Equations

Series: Operator Theory: Advances and Applications , Vol. 205
2010, Approx. 400 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 978-3-0346-0197-9

About this book

This volume is an outgrowth of the international workshop entitled "Pseudo-Differential Operators: Complex Analysis and Partial Differential Equations" held at York University on August 4?8, 2009. It consists of the expository paper based on the 6-hour minicourse given by Professor Bert-Wolfgang Schulze, and sixteen papers based on lectures given at the workshop and on invitations. While the focus is on the current developments of pseudo-differential operators in the context of complex analysis and partial differential equations, other topics related to the analysis, applications and computations of pseudo-differential operators are featured.

Metrics on the Phase Space and Non-Selfadjoint Pseudo-Differential Operators

Series: Pseudo-Differential Operators , Vol. 3
2010, Approx. 350 p., Softcover
ISBN: 978-3-7643-8509-5
Due: March 2010

About this book

A thorough exposition of pseudodifferential calculus defined by metrics on the phase space
Contains a proof of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture
Construction of counterexamples to "optimal" solvability under condition (psi)
This book contains three chapters. The first one, Basic Notions of Phase Space Analysis is only introductory. The second chapter, Metrics on the Phase Space, contains a thorough exposition of the Weyl calculus via a microlocalization procedure described by a metric on the phase space. The third chapter, Estimates for non-selfadjoint operators, is more involved and is devoted to a rather complete discussion of operators of principal type with complex-valued symbols.

2010, Approx. 385 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 978-3-0346-0210-5
Due: March 2010

About this book

This volume contains a selection of articles on the theme "vector measures, integration and applications" together with some related topics. The articles consist of both survey style and original research papers, are written by experts in the area and present a succinct account of recent and up-to-date knowledge. The topic is interdisciplinary by nature and involves areas such as measure and integration (scalar, vector and operator-valued), classical and harmonic analysis, operator theory, non-commutative integration, and functional analysis. The material is of interest to experts, young researchers and postgraduate students.

Convolution and Singular Integral Equations

Series: Operator Theory: Advances and Applications , Vol. 206
2010, Approx. 225 p., Hardcover
ISBN: 978-3-7643-8955-0

Due: March 2010

About this book

This volume contains English translations of 13 groundbreaking papers on Toeplitz matrices and Wiener-Hopf equations and other classes of discrete and continuous convolution operators and singular integral equations.

The papers are both of theoretical and numerical interest.

In particular, the papers examine fast algorithms for inversion of these operators, the theory of discrete and continuous resultants, inversion via factorization, and symbol construction. Originally the papers were written in Russian more than thirty years ago; their English translation is published here for the first time. These papers solved difficult problems and opened new venues in the above-mentioned areas. They are still frequently quoted, and moreover, they exert a continuing influence on numerical analysis and other areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics and Engineering.

The book is addressed to a wide audience of mathematicians and engineers, from graduate students to researchers, whose interests lie in the above-mentioned areas.
