Fourier Integral Operators

Download or read book Fourier Integral Operators written by J.J. Duistermaat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-03 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a useful introduction to the subject of Fourier Integral Operators and is based on the author’s classic set of notes. Covering a range of topics from Hörmander’s exposition of the theory, Duistermaat approaches the subject from symplectic geometry and includes application to hyperbolic equations (= equations of wave type) and oscillatory asymptotic solutions which may have caustics. This text is suitable for mathematicians and (theoretical) physicists with an interest in (linear) partial differential equations, especially in wave propagation, rep. WKB-methods.
