Introduction to the Mathematical Physics of Nonlinear Waves (Second Edition)
- Minoru Fujimoto
- October 2021
Description
Written for students at upper-undergraduate and graduate levels, it is suitable for advanced physics courses on nonlinear physics. The book covers the fundamental properties of nonlinear waves, dealing with both theory and experiment. The aim is to emphasize established tools and introduce new methods underpinning important new developments in this field, especially as applied to solid-state materials. The updated edition has been extended to emphasize the importance of thermodynamics in a description of modulated crystals and contains new chapters on superconductivity that can be interpreted by the soliton mechanism. It is also updated to include new end-of-chapter problems.
About Editors
Minoru Fujimoto is a retired professor from the University of Guelph, Canada, where he conducted research in the field of magnetic resonance studies on structural phase transitions in crystals which has currently been extended to theoretical work with soliton dynamics especially as applied to crystalline condensed matter systems. He is the author of numerous papers and several books including Physics of Classical Electromagnetism and Thermodynamics of Crystalline States (Springer); Introduction to Mathematical Physics of Nonlinear Waves and Solitons in Crystalline Processes (IOP Publishing). He lives in Mississauga, Ontario.
