Calculus and mathematical analysis Books

Book SynopsisThe present volume is an extensive monograph on the analytic and geometric aspects of Markov diffusion operators. It focuses on the geometric curvature properties of the underlying structure in order to study convergence to equilibrium, spectral bounds, functional inequalities such as Poincaré, Sobolev or logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, and various bounds on solutions of evolution equations. At the same time, it covers a large class of evolution and partial differential equations. The book is intended to serve as an introduction to the subject and to be accessible for beginning and advanced scientists and non-specialists. Simultaneously, it covers a wide range of results and techniques from the early developments in the mid-eighties to the latest achievements. As such, students and researchers interested in the modern aspects of Markov diffusion operators and semigroups and their connections to analytic functional inequalities, probabilistic convergence to equilibrium and geometric curvature will find it especially useful. Selected chapters can also be used for advanced courses on the topic.Trade Review“The book is friendly written and is of a rich content. With simple examples, main ideas of the study are clearly explained and naturally extended to a general framework, so that main progress in the field made for the past decades is presented in a smooth way. The monograph is undoubtedly a significant reference for further development of diffusion semigroups and related topics.” (Feng-Yu Wang, zbMATH 1376.60002, 2018)“It is extremely rich. It is more original and inspirational than a treatise. One can use it and benefit from it in many ways: as a reference book, as an inspiration source, by focusing on a property or on an example. … From the beginning to the end, this book definitely has a strong personality and a characteristic taste. … anybody who wants to explore analytic, probabilistic or geometric properties of Markov semigroups to have a look at it first.” (Thierry Coulhon, Jahresbericht der Deutschen Math-Vereinigung, Vol. 119, 2017)“This impressive monograph is about an important and highly active area that straddles the fertile land occupied by both probability and analysis. … It is written with great clarity and style, and was clearly a labour of love for the authors. I am convinced that it will be a valuable resource for researchers in analysis and probability for many years to come.” (David Applebaum, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 100 (548), July, 2016)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Part I Markov semigroups, basics and examples: 1.Markov semigroups.- 2.Model examples.- 3.General setting.- Part II Three model functional inequalities: 4.Poincaré inequalities.- 5.Logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.- 6.Sobolev inequalities.- Part III Related functional, isoperimetric and transportation inequalities: 7.Generalized functional inequalities.- 8.Capacity and isoperimetry-type inequalities.- 9.Optimal transportation and functional inequalities.- Part IV Appendices: A.Semigroups of bounded operators on a Banach space.- B.Elements of stochastic calculus.- C.Some basic notions in differential and Riemannian geometry.- Notations and list of symbols.- Bibliography.- Index.

Book SynopsisBased on an honors course taught by the author at UC Berkeley, this introduction to undergraduate real analysis gives a different emphasis by stressing the importance of pictures and hard problems. Topics include: a natural construction of the real numbers, four-dimensional visualization, basic point-set topology, function spaces, multivariable calculus via differential forms (leading to a simple proof of the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem), and a pictorial treatment of Lebesgue theory. Over 150 detailed illustrations elucidate abstract concepts and salient points in proofs. The exposition is informal and relaxed, with many helpful asides, examples, some jokes, and occasional comments from mathematicians, such as Littlewood, Dieudonné, and Osserman. This book thus succeeds in being more comprehensive, more comprehensible, and more enjoyable, than standard introductions to analysis.New to the second edition of Real Mathematical Analysis is a presentation of Lebesgue integration done almost entirely using the undergraph approach of Burkill. Payoffs include: concise picture proofs of the Monotone and Dominated Convergence Theorems, a one-line/one-picture proof of Fubini's theorem from Cavalieri’s Principle, and, in many cases, the ability to see an integral result from measure theory. The presentation includes Vitali’s Covering Lemma, density points — which are rarely treated in books at this level — and the almost everywhere differentiability of monotone functions. Several new exercises now join a collection of over 500 exercises that pose interesting challenges and introduce special topics to the student keen on mastering this beautiful subject.Trade Review"This book, in its second edition, provides the basic concepts of real analysis. ... I strongly recommend it to everyone who wishes to study real mathematical analysis."

Book SynopsisThe graceful role of analysis in underpinning calculus is often lost to their separation in the curriculum. This book entwines the two subjects, providing a conceptual approach to multivariable calculus closely supported by the structure and reasoning of analysis. The setting is Euclidean space, with the material on differentiation culminating in the inverse and implicit function theorems, and the material on integration culminating in the general fundamental theorem of integral calculus. More in-depth than most calculus books but less technical than a typical analysis introduction, Calculus and Analysis in Euclidean Space offers a rich blend of content to students outside the traditional mathematics major, while also providing transitional preparation for those who will continue on in the subject. The writing in this book aims to convey the intent of ideas early in discussion. The narrative proceeds through figures, formulas, and text, guiding the reader to do mathematics resourcefully by marshaling the skills of geometric intuition (the visual cortex being quickly instinctive) algebraic manipulation (symbol-patterns being precise and robust) incisive use of natural language (slogans that encapsulate central ideas enabling a large-scale grasp of the subject). Thinking in these ways renders mathematics coherent, inevitable, and fluid. The prerequisite is single-variable calculus, including familiarity with the foundational theorems and some experience with proofs.Trade Review“Shurman (mathematics, Reed College) has succeeded in presenting a text that encompasses multivariable calculus, advanced calculus, and an introduction to point-set topology. In short, this book covers aspects one should know about the elementary analysis, geometry, and topology of Euclidean space. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; researchers and faculty.” (J. T. Zerger, Choice, Vol. 54 (11), July, 2017)“The author’s writing style is clear and easy to follow, but, more than that, it is exceptionally well-motivated and contains some useful pedagogical ideas. In addition, throughout the book, the author notes issues that are likely to cause trouble to beginning students, and takes the time and effort to single them out and discuss them thoroughly. There are lots of exercises, many of them quite illuminating. … It is highly recommended.” (Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, maa.org, March, 2017)“This book contains a clear and well-planned lecture discussing the most important issues of differential and integral calculus. … The big advantage of this book are nice, transparent and often colourful drawings illustrating some considerations. A nice complement to mathematical statements are explanations and comments.” (Ryszard Pawlak, zbMATH 1357.26002, 2017)Table of ContentsPreface.- 1 Results from One-Variable Calculus.- Part I Multivariable Differential Calculus.- 2 Euclidean Space.- 3 Linear Mappings and Their Matrices.- 4 The Derivative.- 5 Inverse and Implicit Functions.- Part II Multivariable Integral Calculus.- 6 Integration.- 7 Approximation by Smooth Functions.- 8 Parameterized Curves.- 9 Integration of Differential Forms.- Index.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of stochastic calculus and some of its applications. It is the only textbook on the subject to include more than two hundred exercises with complete solutions.After explaining the basic elements of probability, the author introduces more advanced topics such as Brownian motion, martingales and Markov processes. The core of the book covers stochastic calculus, including stochastic differential equations, the relationship to partial differential equations, numerical methods and simulation, as well as applications of stochastic processes to finance. The final chapter provides detailed solutions to all exercises, in some cases presenting various solution techniques together with a discussion of advantages and drawbacks of the methods used. Stochastic Calculus will be particularly useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students wishing to acquire a solid understanding of the subject through the theory and exercises. Including full mathematical statements and rigorous proofs, this book is completely self-contained and suitable for lecture courses as well as self-study.Trade Review“This book is an excellent and quite complete course of stochastic calculus at the master's degree level. … The book includes plenty of exercises, all of them completely and extensively solved in the appendix. This aspect can be very useful for professors who plan to use the book for teaching. In summary, I find that this is an excellent and complete book on stochastic calculus for master's level students. I am going to use it in my future teaching activities.” (Josep Vives, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2018)“The unique feature of this book is the vast amount of exercises and solutions (more than 200, according to the publisher), with detailed solutions — they are not just a one line hints. There are also many interesting detailed examples and discussions that elaborate on the theory. … In my opinion this is a great book for self-study, as the exercises and solutions are a goldmine.” (Peter Rabinovitch, MAA Reviews, May, 2018)“The first goal is to make the reader familiar with the basic elements of stochastic processes, such as Brownian motion, martingales and Markov processes and then move in the direction of stochastic integration. ... The book is written in clear language and in good style and will be useful for everybody who is interested in stochastic calculus; it is suited for beginners, students, researchers, teachers and practitioners.” (Yuliya S.

Book SynopsisThis text in multivariable calculus fosters comprehension through meaningful explanations. Written with students in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering in mind, it extends concepts from single variable calculus such as derivative, integral, and important theorems to partial derivatives, multiple integrals, Stokes’ and divergence theorems. Students with a background in single variable calculus are guided through a variety of problem solving techniques and practice problems. Examples from the physical sciences are utilized to highlight the essential relationship between calculus and modern science. The symbiotic relationship between science and mathematics is shown by deriving and discussing several conservation laws, and vector calculus is utilized to describe a number of physical theories via partial differential equations. Students will learn that mathematics is the language that enables scientific ideas to be precisely formulated and that science is a source for the development of mathematics. Trade Review“The presentation of the material is guided by applications so that physics and engineering students will find the text engaging and see the relevance of multivariable calculus to their work. The text contains over 500 exercises with answers and/or solutions to half provided at the back of the book, enabling students to gauge their understanding of the content as they proceed. A well-written, engaging text. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and professionals.” (J. T. Zerger, Choice, Vol. 56 (03), November, 2018)“This book belongs to a collection aimed at third- and fourth-year undergraduate mathematics students at North American universities. … There are more than 200 figures to help the reader to understand the explanations and about 500 problems. … I think this book can be recommended since, moreover, it is very pedagogical.” (Richard Becker, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2018)“Lax and Terrell’s sequel to their Calculus With Applications presents a first course in multivariable calculus that fits in just over 400 pages. Even instructors who use standard texts will find much of value in this refreshing first edition. The book is written with a wide range of STEM students in mind, and its exposition remains remarkably fluid without scarificing precision. Every section of each chapter ends with an excellent collection of exercises, which should be graciously welcomed by independent learners and instructors alike.” (Tushar Das, MAA Reviews, September, 2018)“The main achievement of the authors is that they essentially have simplified the teaching of the old topics to make a place for new ones. The proofs are exposited to encourage understanding, not meaningless rigor. … the presented book is a useful tool for all mathematicians (not only for students) and I find it regrettable that this book was not written when I was a student.” (Andrey Zahariev, zbMATH 1396.26002, 2018)Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book explains and helps readers to develop geometric intuition as it relates to differential forms. It includes over 250 figures to aid understanding and enable readers to visualize the concepts being discussed. The author gradually builds up to the basic ideas and concepts so that definitions, when made, do not appear out of nowhere, and both the importance and role that theorems play is evident as or before they are presented. With a clear writing style and easy-to- understand motivations for each topic, this book is primarily aimed at second- or third-year undergraduate math and physics students with a basic knowledge of vector calculus and linear algebra.Trade Review “The reviewer recommends young mathematics and physics majors to open the book and to keep it on their bookshelves. Indeed, the reviewer even envies young students who can study differential forms with such a fascinating book.” (Hirokazu Nishimura, zbMath 1419.58001, 2019)Table of Contents

Book SynopsisThis book presents in a systematic and almost self-contained way the striking analogy between classical function theory, in particular the value distribution theory of holomorphic curves in projective space, on the one hand, and important and beautiful properties of the Gauss map of minimal surfaces on the other hand. Both theories are developed in the text, including many results of recent research. The relations and analogies between them become completely clear. The book is written for interested graduate students and mathematicians, who want to become more familiar with this modern development in the two classical areas of mathematics, but also for those, who intend to do further research on minimal surfaces.Table of ContentsContents: The Gauss map of minimal surfaces in R3 - The derived curves of a holomorphic curve - The classical defect relations for holomorphic curves - Modified defect relation for holomorphic curves - The Gauss Map of complete minimal surfaces in Rm.

Book SynopsisThe book provides a new functional-analytic approach to evolution equations by considering the abstract Cauchy problem in a scale of Banach spaces. Conditions are proved characterizing well-posedness of the linear, time-dependent Cauchy problem in scales of Banach spaces and implying local existence, uniqueness, and regularity of solutions of the quasilinear Cauchy problem. Many applications illustrate the generality of the approach. In particular, using the Fefferman-Phong inequality unifying results on parabolic and hyperbolic equations generalizing classical ones and a unified treatment of Navier-Stokes and Euler equations is described. Assuming only basic knowledge in analysis and functional analysis the book provides all mathematical tools and is aimed for students, graduates, researchers, and lecturers.Table of ContentsTools from functional analysis - Well-posedness of the time-dependent linear Cauchy problem - Quasilinear evolution equations - Applications to linear, time-dependent evolution equations - Applications to quasilinear evolution equations

Book SynopsisNunmehr kann ich auch den zweiten Teil meiner Lehre von den Kettenbrüchen, der den analytischen Kettenbrüchen gewidmet ist, als Band 11 in neuer Be­ arbeitung den Fachgenossen vorlegen. Ebenso wie bei dem im Jahr 1954 er­ schienenen Band I ging mein Bemühen dah~, den heutigen Stand der Wissen­ schaft in möglichst leicht verständlicher Weise darzustellen. Die leichte Ver­ ständlichkeit kann natürlich nicht bedeuten, daß der Leser das Buch wie einen Roman durcheilen kann. Wenn er aber die Technik der Differential-und Integral­ rechnung beherrscht, wenn er schon etwas von der Gammafunktion und von linearen Differentialgleichungen gehört hat und ein klein wenig Funktionen­ theorie weiß, kann er unschwer folgen; nur darf er, um in Einzelheiten ein­ zudringen, nicht die Mühe scheuen, gelegentlich Papier und Bleistift zur Hand zu nehmen und einfache Rechnungen nach gegebener Anweisung selbst durch­ zuführen. Es geht alles nach geläufigen Methoden. Der allgemeine Rahmen des Buches ist der alte geblieben; doch sind die sechs Kapitel mit weitgehend verändertem Inhalt gefüllt. Namentlich die ersten drei und auch die zweite Hälfte des vierten sind mannigfach umgestaltet und er­ weitert, während in den letzten zwei nur geringere Änderungen nötig und sogar Kürzungen möglich waren, um Raum für den neuen Stoff der früheren zu ge­ winnen. Überall in der Welt, besonders in der Neuen, ist in den letzten Dezennien ein reiches Material von neuen Kettenbruchtypen und neuen Erkenntnissen, vor allem in bezug auf Konvergenz, gewonnen worden, das gesichtet, geordnet und systematisch eingearbeitet werden mußte.Table of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisDie mathematische Modellierung von Phänomenen und Prozessen in den Natur- und Technikwissenschaften, zunehmend auch in den Lebenswissenschaften, führt oftmals auf Differentialgleichungen. Das Anliegen dieses Lehrbuchs ist die rasche und doch verständliche Heranführung an (funktional-)analytische Methoden, die die Behandlung linearer und nichtlinearer Rand- und Anfangswertprobleme gestatten: Fixpunktprinzipien, Kompaktheits- und Monotonieargumente, variationelle Methoden und die Konstruktion von Näherungslösungen. Diese tragenden Methoden und Techniken werden angewandt, um klassische und schwache Lösungen von gewöhnlichen Randwertproblemen, Variationsproblemen und Evolutionsgleichungen (der abstrakten Formulierung zeitabhängiger partieller Differentialgleichungen) zu studieren.Trade Review"The exposition is well-motivated through a wealth of examples and is of high pedagogical standard."

Book SynopsisThe authors consider applications of singularity theory and computer algebra to bifurcations of Hamiltonian dynamical systems. They restrict themselves to the case were the following simplification is possible. Near the equilibrium or (quasi-) periodic solution under consideration the linear part allows approximation by a normalized Hamiltonian system with a torus symmetry. It is assumed that reduction by this symmetry leads to a system with one degree of freedom. The volume focuses on two such reduction methods, the planar reduction (or polar coordinates) method and the reduction by the energy momentum mapping. The one-degree-of-freedom system then is tackled by singularity theory, where computer algebra, in particular, Gröbner basis techniques, are applied. The readership addressed consists of advanced graduate students and researchers in dynamical systems.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- I. Applications: Methods I: Planar reduction; Method II: The energy-momentum map.- II. Theory: Birkhoff Normalization; Singularity Theory; Gröbner bases and Standard bases; Computing normalizing transformations.- Appendix A.1. Classification of term orders; Appendix A.2.

Book SynopsisThis edition contains detailed solutions of selected exercises. Many readers have requested this, because it makes the book more suitable for self-study. At the same time new exercises (without solutions) have beed added. They have all been placed in the end of each chapter, in order to facilitate the use of this edition together with previous ones. Several errors have been corrected and formulations have been improved. This has been made possible by the valuable comments from (in alphabetical order) Jon Bohlin, Mark Davis, Helge Holden, Patrick Jaillet, Chen Jing, Natalia Koroleva,MarioLefebvre,Alexander Matasov,Thilo Meyer-Brandis, Keigo Osawa, Bjorn Thunestvedt, Jan Uboe and Yngve Williassen. I thank them all for helping to improve the book. My thanks also go to Dina Haraldsson, who once again has performed the typing and drawn the ?gures with great skill. Blindern, September 2002 Bernt Oksendal xv Preface to Corrected Printing, Fifth Edition The main corrections and improvements in this corrected printing are from Chapter 12. I have bene?tted from useful comments from a number of p- ple, including (in alphabetical order) Fredrik Dahl, Simone Deparis, Ulrich Haussmann, Yaozhong Hu, Marianne Huebner, Carl Peter Kirkebo, Ni- lay Kolev, Takashi Kumagai, Shlomo Levental, Geir Magnussen, Anders Oksendal, Jur . . gen Pottho?, Colin Rowat, Stig Sandnes, Lones Smith, S- suo Taniguchi and Bjorn Thunestvedt. I want to thank them all for helping me making the book better. I also want to thank Dina Haraldsson for pro?cient typing.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the fifth edition: "This is a highly readable and refreshingly rigorous introduction to stochastic calculus. … This is not a watered-down treatment. It is a serious introduction that starts with fundamental measure-theoretic concepts and ends, coincidentally, with the Black-Scholes formula as one of several examples of applications. This is the best single resource for learning the stochastic calculus … ." (riskbook.com, 2002) From the reviews of the sixth edition: "The book … has evolved from a 200-page typewritten booklet to a modern classic. Part of its charm and success is the fact that the author does not bother too much with the (for the novice) cumbersome rigorous theory … . This does not mean that the book is not rigorous, it is just the timing and dosage of mathematical rigour … that is palatable for undergraduates … . a highly readable account, suitable for self-study and for use in the classroom." (René L. Schilling, The Mathematical Gazette, March, 2005) "This is the sixth edition of the classical and excellent book on stochastic differential equations. The main difference with the next to last edition is the addition of detailed solutions of selected exercises … . This is certainly an excellent idea in view to test its ability of applications of the concepts … . certainly one of the best books on the subject, it will be very helpful to any graduate students and also very valuable for any analysts of financial market." (Stéphane Métens, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004) "This is now the sixth edition of the excellent book on stochastic differential equations and related topics. … the presentation is successfully balanced between being easily accessible for a broad audience and being mathematically rigorous. The book is a first choice for courses at graduate level in applied stochastic differential equations. The inclusion of detailed solutions to many of the exercises in this edition also makes it very useful for self-study."

Book SynopsisFunctions in R and C, including the theory of Fourier series, Fourier integrals and part of that of holomorphic functions, form the focal topic of these two volumes. Based on a course given by the author to large audiences at Paris VII University for many years, the exposition proceeds somewhat nonlinearly, blending rigorous mathematics skilfully with didactical and historical considerations. It sets out to illustrate the variety of possible approaches to the main results, in order to initiate the reader to methods, the underlying reasoning, and fundamental ideas. It is suitable for both teaching and self-study. In his familiar, personal style, the author emphasizes ideas over calculations and, avoiding the condensed style frequently found in textbooks, explains these ideas without parsimony of words. The French edition in four volumes, published from 1998, has met with resounding success: the first two volumes are now available in English.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the original French edition: "... The content is quite classical ... [...] The treatment is less classical: precise although unpedantic (rather far from the definition-theorem-corollary-style), it contains many interesting commentaries of epistemological, pedagogical, historical and even political nature. [...] The author gives frequent interesting hints on recent developments of mathematics connected to the concepts which are introduced. The Introduction also contains comments that are very unusual in a book on mathematical analysis, going from pedagogy to critique of the French scientific-military-industrial complex, but the sequence of ideas is introduced in such a way that readers are less surprised than they might be.J. Mawhin in Zentralblatt Mathematik (1999) From the reviews: "Analysis I is the translation of the first volume of Godement’s four-volume work Analyse Mathématique, which offers a development of analysis more or less from the beginning up to some rather advanced topics. … the organization of the material is radically different … . It would … make excellent supplementary reading for honors calculus courses." (Gerald B. Folland, SIAM Review, Vol. 47 (3), 2005) "A book on analysis that is quite different from all other books on this subject. … for those who essentially know the material (the level of an average graduate student, say), and who are interested in mathematics will certainly love reading it. Those who lecture this material may find a lot of inspiration to make their lessons entertaining." (Adhemar Bultheel, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, Vol. 12 (2), 2005) "Analysis I is an English translation of the first volume of a four-volume work. Analysis I consists of a spirally organized, organic, non-linear treatment of the introductory areas of ‘mathematical analysis as it was and as it has become’. It is infused with some excellent, sensitive appreciations of the work of pioneers … and reads as a heady blend of both classical concerns and modern refinements, often illuminated by a variety of approaches."

Book SynopsisThese notes will be useful and of interest to mathematicians and physicists active in research as well as for students with some knowledge of the abstract theory of operators in Hilbert spaces. They give a complete spectral theory for ordinary differential expressions of arbitrary order n operating on -valued functions existence and construction of self-adjoint realizations via boundary conditions, determination and study of general properties of the resolvent, spectral representation and spectral resolution. Special attention is paid to the question of separated boundary conditions, spectral multiplicity and absolutely continuous spectrum. For the case nm=2 (Sturm-Liouville operators and Dirac systems) the classical theory of Weyl-Titchmarch is included. Oscillation theory for Sturm-Liouville operators and Dirac systems is developed and applied to the study of the essential and absolutely continuous spectrum. The results are illustrated by the explicit solution of a number of particular problems including the spectral theory one partical Schrödinger and Dirac operators with spherically symmetric potentials. The methods of proof are functionally analytic wherever possible.Table of ContentsFormally self-adjoint differential expressions.- Appendix to section 1: The separation of the Dirac operator.- Fundamental properties and general assumptions.- Appendix to section 2: Proof of the Lagrange identity for n>2.- The minimal operator and the maximal operator.- Deficiency indices and self-adjoint extensions of T0.- The solutions of the inhomogeneous differential equation (?-?)u=f; Weyl's alternative.- Limit point-limit circle criteria.- Appendix to section 6: Semi-boundedness of Sturm-Liouville type operators.- The resolvents of self-adjoint extensions of T0.- The spectral representation of self-adjoint extensions of T0.- Computation of the spectral matrix ?.- Special properties of the spectral representation, spectral multiplicities.- L2-solutions and essential spectrum.- Differential operators with periodic coefficients.- Appendix to section 12: Operators with periodic coefficients on the half-line.- Oscillation theory for regular Sturm-Liouville operators.- Oscillation theory for singular Sturm-Liouville operators.- Essential spectrum and absolutely continuous spectrum of Sturm-Liouville operators.- Oscillation theory for Dirac systems, essential spectrum and absolutely continuous spectrum.- Some explicitly solvable problems.
