Special Functions: A Unified Theory Based on Singularities
by Sergei Yu. Slavyanov
On This Page
Description
The subject of this book is the theory of special functions, not considered as a list of functions exhibiting a certain range of properties, but based on the unified study of singularities of second-order ordinary differential equations in the complex domain. The number and characteristics ofthe singularities serve as a basis for classification of each individual special function. Links between linear special functions (as solutions of linear second-order equations), and non-linear special show more functions (as solutions of Painleve equations) are presented as a basic and new result. Manyapplications to different areas of physics are shown and discussed. The book is written from a practical point of view and will address all those scientists whose work involves applications of mathematical methods. Lecturers, graduate students and researchers will find this a valuable text andreference work. show lessTags
