Download or read book Sturm-Liouville Theory and its Applications written by Mohammed Al-Gwaiz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed from a course taught to senior undergraduates, this book provides a unified introduction to Fourier analysis and special functions based on the Sturm-Liouville theory in L2. The text’s presentation follows a clear, rigorous mathematical style that is highly readable. The author first establishes the basic results of Sturm-Liouville theory and then provides examples and applications to illustrate the theory. The final two chapters, on Fourier and Laplace transformations, demonstrate the use of the Fourier series method for representing functions to integral representations.
