Para-differential calculus and applications to the Cauchy problem for nonlinear systems (Q929384): Difference between revisions

The main objective of this book is the para-differential technique, which was initiated by J. M. Bony. The para-differential calculus combines a linearization procedure for nonlinear equations, and a symbolic calculus which extends the classical Fourier analysis and pseudo-differential calculus. This book presented at the level of beginners an introduction to microlocal analysis and para-differential calculus. It also introduces the applications of these techniques to the Cauchy problem for nonlinear hyperbolic equations and Schrödinger equations. The book contains the author's plentiful experience in this field.
