This book presents developments and new results on complex differential-difference equations, an area with important and interesting applications, which also gathers increasing attention. Key problems, methods, and results related to complex differential-difference equations are collected to offer an up-to-date overview of the field.

The series is devoted to the publication of monographs and high-level textbooks in mathematics, mathematical methods and their applications. Apart from covering important areas of current interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary nature accessible to the non-specialist.

The works in this series are addressed to advanced students and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics. In addition, it can serve as a guide for lectures and seminars on a graduate level.

The series de Gruyter Studies in Mathematics was founded ca. 30 years ago by the late Professor Heinz...

This is the second updated and extended edition of the successful book on Feynman-Kac theory. It offers a state-of-the-art mathematical account of functional integration methods in the context of self-adjoint operators and semigroups using the concepts and tools of modern stochastic analysis. The first volume concentrates on Feynman-Kac-type formulae and Gibbs measures.

This monograph covers in a comprehensive manner the current state of classification theory with respect to infinite abelian groups. A wide variety of ways to characterise different classes of abelian groups by invariants, isomorphisms and duality principles are discussed.

Graph models are extremely useful for a large number of applications as they play an important role as structuring tools. They allow to model net structures – like roads, computers, telephones, social networks – instances of abstract data structures – like lists, stacks, trees – and functional or object oriented programming. The focus of this highly self-contained book is on homomorphisms and endomorphisms, matrices and eigenvalues.

This revised and extended edition of a well-established monograph in function theory contains a study on various function classes on the disc, a number of new results and new or easy proofs of old but interesting theorems (for example, the Fefferman–Stein theorem on subharmonic behavior or the theorem on conjugate functions in Bergman spaces) and a full discussion on g-functions.

This book presents a novel approach to umbral calculus, which uses only elementary linear algebra (matrix calculus) based on the observation that there is an isomorphism between Sheffer polynomials and Riordan matrices, and that Sheffer polynomials can be expressed in terms of determinants. Additionally, applications to linear interpolation and operator approximation theory are presented in many settings related to various families of polynomials.

This book presents in a detailed and self-contained way a new and important density result in the analysis of fractional partial differential equations, while also covering several fundamental facts about space- and time-fractional equations.

This authoritative text studies pseudodifferential and Fourier integral operators in the framework of time-frequency analysis, providing an elementary approach, along with applications to almost diagonalization of such operators and to the sparsity of their Gabor representations. Moreover, Gabor frames and modulation spaces are employed to study dispersive equations such as the Schrödinger, wave, and heat equations and related Strichartz problems.　　　　 The first part of the book is addressed to non-experts, presenting the basics of time-frequency analysis: short time Fourier...

This book provides a modern survey of some basic properties of Sturm-Liouville problems and to bring the reader to the forefront of knowledge of some areas of the theory. For example, some special Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems are equivalent to certain Jacobi and cyclic Jacobi matrix eigenvalue problems. A new approach to problems with periodic conditions is developed.
