Gray A., Mathews G.B. A Treatise on Bessel Functions and their Applications to Physics

McGraw-Hill, 1993. - 348 pages. Published by McGraw-Hill since its first edition in 1941, this classic text is an introduction to Fourier series and their applications to boundary value problems in partial differential equations of engineering and physics. It will primarily be used by students with a background in ordinary differential equations and advanced calculus. There are two main objectives of this text. The first is to introduce the conce...

Academic Press, 1978. - 343 Pages. This book is mainly about four functions denoted by r, R, S, and 2 F 0 . The first is the gamma function, Euler's extension of the factorial function 11! to nonintegral values of 11. The other three are hypergeometric functions and embrace as special cases the functions named after Bessel, Hankel, Legendre, Gauss, Kummer, Whittaker, Jacobi, Chebyshev, Gegenbauer, Laguerre, Hermite, and others. The R function u...

Prentice Hall, 1987. - 532 p. This text discusses elementary partial differential equations in the engineering and physical sciences. It is suited for courses whose titles include Fourier series, orthogonal functions, or boundary value problems. It may also be used in courses on Green's functions or transform methods. Simple models (heat flow, vibrating strings and membranes) are emphasized. Equations are formulated carefully from physical princi...

Wiley-VCH, 2007. - 482 pages. This up-to-date textbook on mathematical methods of physics is designed for a one-semester graduate or two-semester advanced undergraduate course. The formal methods are supplemented by applications that use MATHEMATICA to perform both symbolic and numerical calculations. The book is written by a physicist lecturer who knows the difficulties involved in applying mathematics to real problems. As many as 40 exercises...

Walter de Gruyter, 1993. - 216 pages. Contains three chapters titled: Homogeneous Functions, Fourier Transformation, and Contact Structures; Fourier-Maslov Operators; and Applications to Differential Equations.

Publisher: Birkh?usеr, Bоston, 1988, 427 pages Authors of this book have collected the material on special functions that is most important in mathematical physics and quantum mechanics. They have not attempted to provide the most extensive collection possible of information about special functions, but have set ourselves the task of finding an exposition which, based on a unified approach, ensures the possibility of applying the theory in other...

American Mathematical Society, 2011. - 526 pages. Building on the basic techniques of separation of variables and Fourier series, the book presents the solution of boundary-value problems for basic partial differential equations: the heat equation, wave equation, and Laplace equation, considered in various standard coordinate systems-rectangular, cylindrical, and spherical. Each of the equations is derived in the three-dimensional context; the...

Academic Press, 1980. - 400 pages. This book is the first of a multi-volume series devoted to an exposition of functional analysis methods in modern mathematical physics. It describes the fundamental principles of functional analysis and is essentially self-contained, although there are occasional references to later volumes. We have included a few applications when we thought that they would provide motivation for the reader. Later volumes des...
