Opis

This book puts the modern theory of complex linear convexity on a solid footing, and gives a thorough and up-to-date survey of its current status. Applications include the Fantappie transformation of analytic functionals, integral representation formulas, polynomial interpolation, and solutions to linear partial differential equations.

O autorze

The topic of complex convexity is a fascinating blend, exhibiting a profound interplay between geometry, topology and analysis. The present book puts the modern theory of complex linear convexity on a solid footing, and gives a thorough and up-to-date survey of its current status. Applications include the Fantappiè transformation of analytic functionals, integral representation formulas, polynomial interpolation, and solutions to linear partial differential equations.
