There has been considerable progress in the field of microlocal analysis. In a broad sense the subject is the modern version of the classical Fourier technique for solving partial differential equations, with the localization process taking account of dual variables. The tools of pseudo-differential operators, wave-front sets and Fourier integral operators have now conferred a mature form on the theory of linear partial differential operators in the frame of Schwartz distributions or other generalized functions. At the same time, microlocal analysis has assumed an important role as an independent part of analysis, with other applications throughout mathematics and physics, one major theme being spectral theory for the Schrodinger equation in quantum mechanics. The papers collected here emphasize the topics of microlocal methods in the study of linear PDEs (analytic-Gevrey regularity of the solutions, elliptic boundary value problems, higher microlocalization), and applications to spectral theory (Schrodinger equation, asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues, semi-classical analysis in large dimensions and statistical mechanics).

This volume is a collection of papers devoted to the 70th birthday of Professor Vladimir Rabinovich. The opening article (by Stefan Samko) includes a short biography of Vladimir Rabinovich, along with some personal recollections and bibliography of his work. It is followed by twenty research and survey papers in various branches of analysis (pseudodifferential operators and partial differential equations, Toeplitz, Hankel, and convolution type operators, variable Lebesgue spaces, etc.) close to Professor Rabinovich's research interests. Many of them are written by participants of the International workshop “Analysis, Operator Theory, and Mathematical Physics” (Ixtapa, Mexico, January 23–27, 2012) having a long history of scientific collaboration with Vladimir Rabinovich, and are partially based on the talks presented there.The volume will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students in differential equations, operator theory, functional and harmonic analysis, and mathematical physics.​

This authoritative text studies pseudodifferential and Fourier integral operators in the framework of time-frequency analysis, providing an elementary approach, along with applications to almost diagonalization of such operators and to the sparsity of their Gabor representations. Moreover, Gabor frames and modulation spaces are employed to study dispersive equations such as the Schrödinger, wave, and heat equations and related Strichartz problems.　　　　 The first part of the book is addressed to non-experts, presenting the basics of time-frequency analysis: short time Fourier transform, Wigner distribution and other representations, function spaces and frames theory, and it can be read independently as a short text-book on this topic from graduate and under-graduate students, or scholars in other disciplines.

Pseudo-differential operators were initiated by Kohn, Nirenberg and Hörmander in the sixties of the last century. Beside applications in the general theory of partial differential equations, they have their roots also in the study of quantization first envisaged by Hermann Weyl thirty years earlier. Thanks to the understanding of the connections of wavelets with other branches of mathematical analysis, quantum physics and engineering, such operators have been used under different names as mathematical models in signal analysis since the last decade of the last century.The volume investigates the mathematics of quantization and signals in the context of pseudo-differential operators, Weyl transforms, Daubechies operators, Wick quantization and time-frequency localization operators. Applications to quantization, signal analysis and the modern theory of PDE are highlighted.

As a satellite conference to the Fourth Congress of European Mathematics held at StockholmUniversityin2004,theInternationalConferenceonPseudo-Di?erential Operators and Related Topics was held at V.. axjo .. University in Sweden from June 22 to June 25, 2004. The conferencewas supported by Vaxj .. oU .. niversity,theFIRB Research Group on Microlocal Analysis of Universit' a di Torino, and the Int- national Society for Analysis, its Applications and Computation (ISAAC). The conferencewas well attended by about 50 mathematicians fromBulgaria,Canada, Denmark, England,Finland, Germany,Italy, Japan,Mexico, Serbiaand Monte- gro, Russia and Sweden. The conference covered a broad spectrum of topics related to pseudo-di?erential operators such as partial di?erential equations, quantization, Wigner transforms andWeyltransformsonLiegroups,mathematicalphysics,time-frequencyanalysis and stochastic processes. The speakers were enthusiastic about the prospect of publishing articles based on their presentations in a volume to be published in Professor Israel Gohberg's prestigious series entitled "Operator Theory: Advances and Applications".All contributions from speakers have been carefully refereed and the articles c- lected in this volume give a representative ?avour of the mathematics presented at the conference. This volume is a permanent record of the conference and a valuable complement to the volume "Advances in Pseudo-Di?erential Operators" published in the same series in 2004, which is devoted to the Special Session on Pseudo-Di?erential Operators at the Fourth ISAAC Congress held at York U- versity in August 2003.

This book presents a global pseudo-differential calculus in Euclidean spaces, which includes SG as well as Shubin classes and their natural generalizations containing Schroedinger operators with non-polynomial potentials. This calculus is applied to study global hypoellipticity for several pseudo-differential operators. The book includes classic calculus as a special case. It will be accessible to graduate students and of benefit to researchers in PDEs and mathematical physics.

di?erential operators in particular will be developed hand in glove with appli- tions andcomputation inthe physical,biologicaland medicalsciences.This theme will play an important role in the forthcoming volumes on pseudo-di?erential - erators originating from IGPDO.

In a recent series of papers M.W. Wong has studied a degenerate elliptic partial di?erential operator related to the Heisenberg group. It turns out that Wong's example is best understood when replaced in the context of the phase-space Weyl calculus we have developed in previous work; this - proach highlights the relationship of Wong's constructions with the quantum mechanics of charged particles in a uniform magnetic ?eld. Using Shubin's classes of pseudodi?erential symbols we prove global hypoellipticity results for arbitrary phase-space operators arising from elliptic operators on con- uration space.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute "Microlocal Analysis and Spectral The­ ory" was held in Tuscany (Italy) at Castelvecchio Pascoli, in the district of Lucca, hosted by the international vacation center "11 Ciocco" , from September 23 to October 3, 1996. The Institute recorded the considerable progress realized recently in the field of Microlocal Analysis. In a broad sense, Microlocal Analysis is the modern version of the classical Fourier technique in solving partial differential equa­ tions, where now the localization proceeding takes place with respect to the dual variables too. Precisely, through the tools of pseudo-differential operators, wave-front sets and Fourier integral operators, the general theory of the lin­ ear partial differential equations is now reaching a mature form, in the frame of Schwartz distributions or other generalized functions. At the same time, Microlocal Analysis has grown up into a definite and independent part of Math­ ematical Analysis, with other applications all around Mathematics and Physics, one major theme being Spectral Theory for Schrodinger equation in Quantum Mechanics.

The book is devoted to new and classical results of the theory of linear partial differential operators in Gevrey spaces. The “microlocal approach” is adopted, by using pseudo-differential operators, wave front sets and Fourier integral operators.Basic results for Schwartz-distributions, c∞ and analytic classes are also included, concerning hypoellipticity, solvability and propagation of singularities.Also included is a self-contained exposition of the calculus of the pseudo-differential operators of infinite order.
