Guide To Distribution Theory And Fourier Transforms, A by Robert S Strichartz
This important book provides a concise exposition of the basic ideas of the theory of distribution and Fourier transforms and its application to partial differential equations. The author clearly presents the ideas, precise statements of theorems, and explanations of ideas behind the proofs. Methods in which techniques are used in applications are illustrated, and many problems are included. The book also introduces several significant recent topics, including pseudodifferential operators, wave front sets, wavelets, and quasicrystals. Background mathematical prerequisites have been kept to a minimum, with only a knowledge of multidimensional calculus and basic complex variables needed to fully understand the concepts in the book.A Guide to Distribution Theory and Fourier Transforms can serve as a textbook for parts of a course on Applied Analysis or Methods of Mathematical Physics, and in fact it is used that way at Cornell.
Strichartz, Robert S.: - Robert S. Strichartz, Cornell UniversityReceived his Ph.D. (1966) from Princeton University and is currently teaches mathematics at Cornell University. Research interests cover a wide range of topics in analysis, including harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, analysis on Lie groups and manifolds, integral geometry, wavelets and fractals.Robert's early work using methods of harmonic analysis to obtain fundamental estimates for linear wave equations has played an important role in recent developments in the theory of nonlinear wave equations. His work on fractals began with the study of self-similar measures and their Fourier transforms. More recentlyhis have been concentrating on a theory of differential equationson fractals created by Jun Kigami. Much of this work has been done in collaboration with undergraduate students through a summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at Cornell thathe directs.Robert wrote an expository article Analysis On Fractals, Notices of the AMS 46 (1999), 1199 - 1208 explaining the basic ideas in this subject area and the connections with other areas of mathematics.
