Exterior Differential Systems and Euler-Lagrange Partial Differential Equations: Chicago Lectures in Mathematics
Autor Robert Bryant, Phillip Griffiths, Daniel Grossmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2003
InExterior
Differential
Systems,
the
authors
present
the
results
of
their
ongoing
development
of
a
theory
of
the
geometry
of
differential
equations,
focusing
especially
on
Lagrangians
and
Poincaré-Cartan
forms.
They
also
cover
certain
aspects
of
the
theory
of
exterior
differential
systems,
which
provides
the
language
and
techniques
for
the
entire
study.
Because
it
plays
a
central
role
in
uncovering
geometric
properties
of
differential
equations,
the
method
of
equivalence
is
particularly
emphasized.
In
addition,
the
authors
discuss
conformally
invariant
systems
at
length,
including
results
on
the
classification
and
application
of
symmetries
and
conservation
laws.
The
book
also
covers
the
Second
Variation,
Euler-Lagrange
PDE
systems,
and
higher-order
conservation
laws.
This timely synthesis of partial differential equations and differential geometry will be of fundamental importance to both students and experienced researchers working in geometric analysis.
