Linear Partial Differential Operators

by Lars Hormander

Linear Partial Differential Operators is a comprehensive book written by Lars Hormander, a prominent mathematician in the field of partial differential equations. The book provides a thorough introduction to the theory of linear partial differential operators, which are fundamental tools for understanding many areas of mathematics and physics.The book begins with an overview of basic concepts in partial differential equations, including the classification of equations, boundary value problems, and the method of characteristics. The author then introduces the theory of linear partial differential operators, including the study of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic operators, as well as their associated boundary value problems.Throughout the book, Hormander emphasizes the importance of functional analysis and the use of operator theory in the study of partial differential equations. He also provides numerous examples and applications of the theory, including the study of wave propagation, heat flow, and potential theory.Linear Partial Differential Operators is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, physics, and engineering who are interested in the theory and applications of partial differential equations. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers with a strong background in analysis and advanced calculus.Grundlehren Der Mathematischen Wissenschaften In Einzeldarstellungen Mit Besonderer Berucksichtigung Der Anwendungsgebiete, V116.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
