Description
Book SynopsisThis book introduces graduate students and researchers in mathematics and the sciences to the multifaceted subject of the equations of hyperbolic type, which are used, in particular, to describe propagation of waves at finite speed. Among the topics presented are nonlinear geometric optics, the asymptotic analysis of short wavelength solutions, and nonlinear interaction of such waves.
