Spectral Methods For Operators of Mathematical Physics

Spectral theory of bounded linear operators teams up with von Neumann’s theory of unbounded operators in this monograph to provide a general framework for the study of stable methods for the evaluation of unbounded operators. An introductory chapter provides numerous illustrations of unbounded linear operators that arise in various inverse problems of mathematical physics.

Physics has long been regarded as a wellspring of mathematical problems. Mathematical Methods in Physics is a self-contained presentation, driven by historic motivations, excellent examples, detailed proofs, and a focus on those parts of mathematics that are needed in more ambitious courses on quantum mechanics and classical and quantum field theory. A comprehensive bibliography and index round out the work.

Differential and more general self-adjoint operators involving singular interactions arise naturally in a range of subjects such as classical and quantum physics, chemistry, and electronics. This book is a systematic mathematical study of these operators, with particular emphasis on spectral and scattering problems.
