Beyond Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Beyond Partial Differential Equations written by Horst Reinhard Beyer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2007-04-10 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the treatment of linear and nonlinear (quasi-linear) abstract evolution equations by methods from the theory of strongly continuous semigroups. The theoretical part is accessible to graduate students with basic knowledge in functional analysis, with only some examples requiring more specialized knowledge from the spectral theory of linear, self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces. Emphasis is placed on equations of the hyperbolic type which are less often treated in the literature.
