Based on a third-year course for French students of physics, this book is a graduate text in functional analysis emphasizing applications to physics. It introduces Lebesgue integration, Fourier and Laplace transforms, Hilbert space theory, theory of distribution a la Laurent Schwartz, linear operators, and spectral theory. It contains numerous examples and completely worked out exercises.

A NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Classical and Modern Potential The- ory and Applications was held at the Chateau de Bonas, France, during the last week of July 1993. The workshop was organized by the Co-Directors M. Goldstein (Ari- zona) and K. GowriSankaran (Montreal). The other members of the organizing committee were J. Bliedtner (Frankfurt), D. Feyel (Paris), W. K. Hayman (York, England) and I. Netuka (Praha). The objective of the workshop was to bring to- gether the researchers at the...

The theory of holomorphic dynamical systems is a subject of increasing interest in mathematics, both for its challenging problems and for its connections with other branches of pure and applied mathematics. A holomorphic dynamical system is the datum of a complex variety and a holomorphic object (such as a self-map or a vector ?eld) acting on it. The study of a holomorphic dynamical system consists in describing the asymptotic behavior of the system, associating it with some invariant objects (e...

"Delay Differential Equations" emphasizes the global analysis of full nonlinear equations or systems. The book treats both autonomous and nonautonomous systems with various delays. Key topics addressed are the possible delay influence on the dynamics of the system, such as stability switching as time delay increases, the long time coexistence of populations and the oscillatory aspects of the dynamics. The book also includes coverage of the interplay of spatial diffusion and time delays in some d...

The first two chapters of this book are devoted to convexity in the classical sense, for functions of one and several real variables respectively. This gives a background for the study in the following chapters of related notions which occur in the theory of linear partial differential equations and complex analysis such as (pluri-)subharmonic functions, pseudoconvex sets, and sets which are convex for supports or singular supports with respect to a differential operator. In addition, the convex...

This book offers basic theory on hypercomplex-analytic automorphic forms and functions for arithmetic subgroups of the Vahlen group in higher dimensional spaces. Vector- and Clifford algebra-valued Eisenstein and Poincare series are constructed within this framework and a detailed description of their analytic and number theoretical properties is provided. It establishes explicit relationships to generalized variants of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet L-series, and introduces hypercomple...

This volume consists of the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Approximation by Solutions of Partial Differential Equations, Quadrature Formulae, and Related Topics, which was held at Hanstholm, Denmark. These proceedings include the main invited talks and contributed papers given during the workshop. The aim of these lectures was to present a selection of results of the latest research in the field. In addition to covering topics in approximation by solutions of part...

This is a matrix-oriented approach to linear algebra that covers the traditional material of the courses generally known as "Linear Algebra I" and "Linear Algebra II" throughout North America, but it also includes more advanced topics such as the pseudoinverse and the singular value decomposition that make it appropriate for a more advanced course as well. As is becoming increasingly the norm, the book begins with the geometry of Euclidean 3-space so that important concepts like linear combinati...
