Nonlinear wave equations

by Satyanad Kichenassamy

This up-to-date reference/text examines the mathematical aspects of nonlinear wave propagation - emphasizing nonlinear hyperbolic problems - and introduces the most effective tools for the study of perturbation methods and for exploring global existence, singularity formation, and large-time behavior of solutions. Containing key bibliographic citations, Nonlinear Wave Equations is an excellent reference for mathematical analysts and industrial and applied mathematicians; electrical and electronics, aerospace, mechanical, control, systems, and computer engineers; and physicists; as well as an invaluable text for graduate-level students in these disciplines with an understanding of partial differential equations.
