Download or read book Large-Time Behavior of Solutions of Linear Dispersive Equations written by Daniel B. Dix and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the large-time asymptotic behavior of solutions of the pure initial value problem for linear dispersive equations with constant coefficients and homogeneous symbols in one space dimension. Complete matched and uniformly-valid asymptotic expansions are obtained and sharp error estimates are proved. Using the method of steepest descent much new information on the regularity and spatial asymptotics of the solutions are also obtained. Applications to nonlinear dispersive equations are discussed. This monograph is intended for researchers and graduate students of partial differential equations. Familiarity with basic asymptotic, complex and Fourier analysis is assumed.
