Singular Integral Equations Author:Ricardo Estrada, Ram P. Kanwal This work focuses exclusively on the distributional solutions of singular integral equations, progressing from basic concepts of the classical theory to the more difficult two-dimensional problems. Integral equation methods can be used more effectively than differential equation techniques to solve many problems in applied mathematics, engineeri... more »ng, and mathematical physics. Key features of the work include: Systematic progression from basic classical concepts to more advanced distribution type solutions Applications to a variety of fields, including potential theory, mechanics, fluid dynamics, wave scattering, statistics, and population dynamics Extensive examples, illustrations, and problem sets Good bibliography and index First modern text to exclusively treat singular integral equations Kanwal has published two related works, "Linear Integral Equations and Generalized Functions", as well as "Asymptotic Analysis: A Distributional Approach" with Estrada. Like these other volumes, "Singular Integral Equations" is an ideal text for a beginning graduate level course or for self-study in a variety of scientific disciplines.« less
