Description

Book Synopsis
Bernard Helffer's introduction to the basic tools in spectral analysis is illustrated by numerous examples from the Schrödinger operator theory and various branches of physics: statistical mechanics, superconductivity, fluid mechanics and kinetic theory. The author's focus on applications enables readers to connect theory with practice.
