Introduction to microlocal analysis (Q5903494)

[This article has already been published in Monographie de l'Enseignement Mathématique, No.32 (Université de Genève, 1986; Zbl 0592.58051).] The author gives a survey of microlocal analysis from the hyperfunction point of view. The following topics are treated: systems of differential equations, microdifferential operators, symplectic structure of the cotangent bundle, quantized contact transformations, microdifferential modules, regularity conditions, regular holonomic \({\mathcal E}\)-modules, applications to the b-function.
