Description

Using the Daniell-Riesz approach, this text presents the Lebesgue integral at a level accessible to an audience familiar only with limits, derivatives and series. Employing such minimal prerequisites allows for greatly increased curricular flexibility for course instructors, as well as providing undergraduates with a gateway to the powerful modern mathematics of functions at a very early stage. The book's topics include: the definition and properties of the Lebesgue integral; Banach and Hilbert spaces; integration with respect to Borel measures, along with their associated L2(ƒÊ) spaces; bounded linear operators; and the spectral theorem. The text also describes several applications of the theory, such as Fourier series, quantum mechanics, and probability.

The Defocusing Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation
From Dark Solitions to Vortices and Vortex Rings

available from December 2015
format: Paperback
isbn: 9781611973938

Description

Bose-Einstein condensation is a phase transition in which a fraction of particles of a boson gas condenses into the same quantum state known as the Bose?Einstein condensate (BEC). This book, a broad study of nonlinear excitations in self-defocusing nonlinear media, presents a wide array of findings in the realm of BECs and on the nonlinear Schrodinger-type models that arise therein. It summarizes state-of-the-art knowledge on the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger-type models in a single volume and contains a wealth of resources, including over 800 references to relevant articles and monographs and a meticulous index for ease of navigation. This book is intended for atomic and condensed-matter physicists, nonlinear scientists, and applied mathematicians. It will be equally valuable to beginners and experienced researchers in these fields.

Geometry in a Frechet Context
A Projective Limit Approach

Part of London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
available from January 2016
format: Paperback
isbn: 9781316601952

Description

Many geometrical features of manifolds and fibre bundles modelled on Frechet spaces either cannot be defined or are difficult to handle directly. This is due to the inherent deficiencies of Frechet spaces; for example, the lack of a general solvability theory for differential equations, the non-existence of a reasonable Lie group structure on the general linear group of a Frechet space, and the non-existence of an exponential map in a Frechet?Lie group. In this book, the authors describe in detail a new approach that overcomes many of these limitations by using projective limits of geometrical objects modelled on Banach spaces. It will appeal to researchers and graduate students from a variety of backgrounds with an interest in infinite-dimensional geometry. The book concludes with an appendix outlining potential applications and motivating future research.

Lectures on the Theory of Water Waves

Part of London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series
available from March 2016
format: Paperback
isbn: 9781107565562

Description

In the summer of 2014 leading experts in the theory of water waves gathered at the Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge for four weeks of research interaction. A cross-section of those experts was invited to give introductory-level talks on active topics. This book is a compilation of those talks and illustrates the diversity, intensity, and progress of current research in this area. The key themes that emerge are numerical methods for analysis, stability and simulation of water waves, transform methods, rigorous analysis of model equations, three-dimensionality of water waves, variational principles, shallow water hydrodynamics, the role of deterministic and random bottom topography, and modulation equations. This book is an ideal introduction for PhD students and researchers looking for a research project. It may also be used as a supplementary text for advanced courses in mathematics or fluid dynamics.
