SERIES ON ANALYSIS, APPLICATIONS AND COMPUTATION – serie

In many branches of mathematical analysis and mathematical physics, the Hardy operator and Hardy inequality are fundamentally important and have been intensively studied ever since the pioneer researches. This volume presents new properties of higher-dimensional Hardy operators obtained by the authors and their collaborators over the last decade. Its prime focus is on higher-dimensional Hardy operators that are based on the spherical average form.The key motivation for this monograph is based on the fact that the Hardy operator is generally smaller than the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator, which leads to, on the one hand, the operator norm of the Hardy operator itself being smaller than the latter. On the other hand, the former characterizing the weight function class or function spaces is greater than the latter.

This monograph is devoted to the existence and stability (Ulam–Hyers–Rassias stability and asymptotic stability) of solutions for various classes of functional differential equations or inclusions involving the Hadamard or Hilfer fractional derivative. Some equations present delay which may be finite, infinite, or state-dependent. Others are subject to impulsive effect which may be fixed or non-instantaneous.Readers will find the book self-contained and unified in presentation. It provides the necessary background material required to go further into the subject and explores the rich research literature in detail. Each chapter concludes with a section devoted to notes and bibliographical remarks and all abstract results are illustrated by examples. The tools used include many classical and modern nonlinear analysis methods such as fixed-point theorems, as well as some notions of Ulam stability, attractivity and the measure of non-compactness as well as the measure of weak noncompactness. It is useful for researchers and graduate students for research, seminars, and advanced graduate courses, in pure and applied mathematics, physics, mechanics, engineering, biology, and all other applied sciences.

This introductory book contains a rich collection of exercises and worked examples in Metric Spaces. Other than questions in the traditional setting, plenty of True-or-False type questions and open-ended questions are included. With detailed solutions, these are highly effective in helping students gain a bird's eye view and master the subject and pitfalls better. The presentation is clear in nurturing the mathematical insights and mathematical maturity of the readers.In this book, the pictorialization or visualization of abstract situations into simple pictures is very often crucially conducive to the understanding of the materials. This serves to give an insightful view of the intricate problems, as well as a clue or a direction to formulate rigorous arguments.The learning outcomes include:

The book is devoted to rigorous mathematical results on discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations (DNLS), including the initial value problem of the time-dependent DNLS and the standing wave of the stationary DNLS.The stationary DNLS equations emerge as equations for the profile of the standing wave in evolutionary DNLS. The book mainly presents well-localized, finite-energy solutions that represent solitary standing waves (breathers in the terminology of nonlinear science), while some other types of solutions are considered as well. The approach accepted in this book is variational, based on various critical point theorems of the mountain pass and linking type, as well as constrained minimization.The book covers the existence of solutions and their properties under various physically reasonable assumptions on linear and nonlinear potentials. It also contains a number of open problems which might be thesis topics for fresh PhD students. The results presented are scattered over a large number of research articles and have never been presented in a monograph form. In addition, there is necessary material from the spectral theory of discrete Schrödinger operators, time-dependent DNLS, and a brief presentation of critical point theorems used in the book.

This book provides the construction and characterization of important ultradistribution spaces and studies properties and calculations of ultradistributions such as boundedness and convolution. Integral transforms of ultradistributions are constructed and analyzed. The general theory of the representation of ultradistributions as boundary values of analytic functions is obtained and the recovery of the analytic functions as Cauchy, Fourier-Laplace, and Poisson integrals associated with the boundary value is proved.Ultradistributions are useful in applications in quantum field theory, partial differential equations, convolution equations, harmonic analysis, pseudo-differential theory, time-frequency analysis, and other areas of analysis. Thus this book is of interest to users of ultradistributions in applications as well as to research mathematicians in areas of analysis.

This volume consists of a series of lecture notes on mathematical analysis. The contributors have been selected on the basis of both their outstanding scientific level and their clarity of exposition. Thus, the present collection is particularly suited to young researchers and graduate students. Through this volume, the editors intend to provide the reader with material otherwise difficult to find and written in a manner which is also accessible to nonexperts.

This book is ideal for a one-semester course for advanced undergraduate students and first-year graduate students in mathematics. It is a straightforward and coherent account of a body of knowledge in complex analysis, from complex numbers to Cauchy's integral theorems and formulas to more advanced topics such as automorphism groups, the Schwarz problem in partial differential equations, and boundary behavior of harmonic functions.The book covers a wide range of topics, from the most basic complex numbers to those that underpin current research on some aspects of analysis and partial differential equations. The novelty of this book lies in its choice of topics, genesis of presentation, and lucidity of exposition.

The monograph addresses a canonical problem in linear water wave theory, through the development-detailed, asymptotic analysis of contour integrals in the complex plane. It is anticipated that the methodology developed in the monograph will have applications to many associated linear wave evolution problems, to which the reader may adapt the approach developed in the monograph. The approach adopted in the monograph is novel, and there are no existing publications for comparison.

This volume provides an in-depth treatment of several equations and systems of mathematical physics, describing the propagation and interaction of nonlinear waves as different modifications of these: the KdV equation, Fornberg–Whitham equation, Vakhnenko equation, Camassa–Holm equation, several versions of the NLS equation, Kaup–Kupershmidt equation, Boussinesq paradigm, and Manakov system, amongst others, as well as symmetrizable quasilinear hyperbolic systems arising in fluid dynamics.Readers not familiar with the complicated methods used in the theory of the equations of mathematical physics (functional analysis, harmonic analysis, spectral theory, topological methods, a priori estimates, conservation laws) can easily be acquainted here with different solutions of some nonlinear PDEs written in a sharp form (waves), with their geometrical visualization and their interpretation. In many cases, explicit solutions (waves) having specific physical interpretation (solitons, kinks, peakons, ovals, loops, rogue waves) are found and their interactions are studied and geometrically visualized. To do this, classical methods coming from the theory of ordinary differential equations, the dressing method, Hirota's direct method and the method of the simplest equation are introduced and applied. At the end, the paradifferential approach is used.This volume is self-contained and equipped with simple proofs. It contains many exercises and examples arising from the applications in mechanics, physics, optics and, quantum mechanics.

This book deals with equations of mathematical physics as the different modifications of the KdV equation, the Camassa-Holm type equations, several modifications of Burger's equation, the Hunter-Saxton equation and others. The equations originate from physics but are proposed here for their investigation via purely mathematical methods in the frames of university courses. More precisely, the authors propose classification theorems for the traveling wave solutions for a sufficiently large class of third order nonlinear PDE when the corresponding profiles develop different kind of singularities (cusps, peaks). The orbital stability of the periodic solutions of traveling type for mKdV equations are also studied. Of great interest too is the interaction of peakon type solutions of the Camassa-Holm equation and the solvability of the classical and generalized Cauchy problem for the Hunter-Saxton equation. The Riemann problem for special systems of conservation laws and the corresponding d-shocks are also considered. At the end of the book the authors study the interaction of two piecewise smooth waves in the case of two space variables and they verify the appearance of logarithmic singularities. As it concerns numerical methods in the case of periodic waves the authors apply Cellular Neural Network (CNN) approach.

The asymptotic analysis has obtained new impulses with the general development of various branches of mathematical analysis and their applications. In this book, such impulses originate from the use of slowly varying functions and the asymptotic behavior of generalized functions. The most developed approaches related to generalized functions are those of Vladimirov, Drozhinov and Zavyalov, and that of Kanwal and Estrada. The first approach is followed by the authors of this book and extended in the direction of the S-asymptotics. The second approach — of Estrada, Kanwal and Vindas — is related to moment asymptotic expansions of generalized functions and the Ces'aro behavior. The main features of this book are the uses of strong methods of functional analysis and applications to the analysis of asymptotic behavior of solutions to partial differential equations, Abelian and Tauberian type theorems for integral transforms as well as for the summability of Fourier series and integrals. The book can be used by applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers and others who use classical asymptotic methods and wish to consider non-classical objects (generalized functions) and their asymptotics now in a more advanced setting.

The aim of this third edition is to give an accessible and essentially self-contained account of pseudo-differential operators based on the previous edition. New chapters notwithstanding, the elementary and detailed style of earlier editions is maintained in order to appeal to the largest possible group of readers. The focus of this book is on the global theory of elliptic pseudo-differential operators on Lp(Rn).The main prerequisite for a complete understanding of the book is a basic course in functional analysis up to the level of compact operators. It is an ideal introduction for graduate students in mathematics and mathematicians who aspire to do research in pseudo-differential operators and related topics.

This unique book overturns our ideas about non-Euclidean geometry and the fine-structure constant, and attempts to solve long-standing mathematical problems. It describes a general theory of "recursive" hyperbolic functions based on the "Mathematics of Harmony," and the "golden," "silver," and other "metallic" proportions. Then, these theories are used to derive an original solution to Hilbert's Fourth Problem for hyperbolic and spherical geometries. On this journey, the book describes the "golden" qualitative theory of dynamical systems based on "metallic" proportions. Finally, it presents a solution to a Millennium Problem by developing the Fibonacci special theory of relativity as an original physical-mathematical solution for the fine-structure constant. It is intended for a wide audience who are interested in the history of mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry, Hilbert's mathematical problems, dynamical systems, and Millennium Problems.See
