Distribution Theory : Convolution, Fourier Transform, and Laplace Transform, Paperback by Van Dijk, Gerrit, ISBN 3110295911, ISBN-13 9783110295917, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Van Dijk (mathematics, U. of Leiden, The Netherlands) introduces distribution theory as developed by Laurent Schwartz during the 1950s, to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students mainly of mathematics, though the theory is also widely used in physics and engineering. Beginning with the elementary theory of distributions, he proceeds to convolutions products of distributions, Fourier and Laplace transforms, tempered distributions, summable distributions, and applications. Several examples illustrate, mostly starting with the case of the real line followed by examples in higher dimensions. Some exercises are provided, with clues to their solutions.
