Distribution, Integral Transforms and Applications - 9780415269582

CRC Press

In this approachable introduction to the topic, Distribution, Integral Transforms and Applications makes clear the theory of distributions and integral transforms, exploring the general theory, examples and applications. The authors emphasize the remarkable connection between distribution theory and the classical theory and analysis of differential equations. First they explain the theory of the Lebesque integral as a fundamental tool in the proofs of many theorems. They also give practical hints on using the theory of distributions when classical analysis is insufficient. The text is designed for graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, engineering, and related disciplines. > The theory of distributions is most often presented as L. Schwartz originally presented it: as a theory of the duality of topological vector spaces. Although this is a sound approach, it can be difficult, demanding deep prior knowledge of functional analysis. The more elementary treatments t6
