Wave Propagation, Scattering Theory

From Book News, Inc.
Translated from the 1987 Russian edition. Papers are divided into four sections on: wave propagation, scattering theory, linear differential and pseudodifferential operators, and nonlinear equations. Topics include perturbation theory for phase integrals and its application to problems of wave propagation, Coulomb effects in systems of several particles, representations of C*- algebras generated by pseudodifferential operators in weighted spaces, and the trace formula for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. No index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Book Description
The papers in this collection were written primarily by members of the St. Petersburg seminar in mathematical physics. The seminar, now run by O. A. Ladyzhenskaya, was initiated in 1947 by V. I. Smirnov, to whose memory this volume is dedicated. The papers in the collection are devoted mainly to wave propagation processes, scattering theory, integrability of nonlinear equations, and related problems of spectral theory of differential and integral operators. The book is of interest to mathematicians working in mathematical physics and differential equations, as well as to physicists studying various wave propagation processes.
