Semiclassical Analysis
Share this pageMaciej Zworski
This book is an excellent, comprehensive introduction to semiclassical analysis. I believe it will become a standard reference for the subject.
—Alejandro Uribe, University of Michigan
Semiclassical analysis provides PDE techniques based on the
classical-quantum (particle-wave) correspondence. These
techniques include such well-known tools as geometric optics and the
Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin approximation. Examples of problems
studied in this subject are high energy eigenvalue asymptotics and
effective dynamics for solutions of evolution equations. From the
mathematical point of view, semiclassical analysis is a branch of
microlocal analysis which, broadly speaking, applies harmonic
analysis and symplectic geometry to the study of linear and
nonlinear PDE. The book is intended to be a graduate level text
introducing readers to semiclassical and microlocal methods in PDE. It
is augmented in later chapters with many specialized advanced topics
which provide a link to current research literature.
Readership
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in semiclassical and microlocal methods in partial differential equations.
