Page 4 - Handbook Of Integral Equations

ANNOTATION

More than 2100 integral equations with solutions are given in the first part of the book. A lot
of new exact solutions to linear and nonlinear equations are included. Special attention is paid to
equations of general form, which depend on arbitrary functions. The other equations contain one
or more free parameters (it is the reader’s option to fix these parameters). Totally, the number of
equations described is an order of magnitude greater than in any other book available.
A number of integral equations are considered which are encountered in various fields of
mechanics and theoretical physics (elasticity, plasticity, hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer,
electrodynamics, etc.).
The second part of the book presents exact, approximate analytical and numerical methods
for solving linear and nonlinear integral equations. Apart from the classical methods, some new
methods are also described. Each section provides examples of applications to specific equations.
The handbook has no analogs in the world literature and is intended for a wide audience
of researchers, college and university teachers, engineers, and students in the various fields of
mathematics, mechanics, physics, chemistry, and queuing theory.
