Download or read book Introduction to Nonlinear Dispersive Equations written by Felipe Linares and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-21 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this textbook is to introduce the theory of nonlinear dispersive equations to graduate students in a constructive way. The first three chapters are dedicated to preliminary material, such as Fourier transform, interpolation theory and Sobolev spaces. The authors then proceed to use the linear Schrodinger equation to describe properties enjoyed by general dispersive equations. This information is then used to treat local and global well-posedness for the semi-linear Schrodinger equations. The end of each chapter contains recent developments and open problems, as well as exercises.
