Subject: New edition: Linear Integral Equations
Date: Fri, 23 Apr 1999

The following book appeared recently:

Rainer Kress, Linear Integral Equations, 2nd Edition 

(Applied Mathematical Sciences. Vol. 82) Springer--Verlag 


This book resulted from the author's fascination with the mathematical
beauty of integral equations. It is an attempt to combine theory,
applications, and numerical methods, and cover each of these fields with
the same weight.  In order to make the book accessible to
mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, the author has made the work
as self-contained as possible, by requiring only a solid foundation in
differential and integral calculus. The functional analysis which is
necessary for an adequate treatment of the theory and the numerical
solution of integral equations is developed within the book. Problems
are included at the end of each chapter.  For the second edition, in
addition to corrections and adjustments throughout the text, as well as
an updated reference section, new topics have been added.

Contents: Normed Spaces.  Bounded and Compact Operators.  Riesz Theory. 
Dual Systems and Fredholm Alternative.  Regularization in Dual Systems. 
Potential Theory.  Singular Integral Equations.  Sobolev Spaces.  The
Heat Equation.  Operator Approximations.  Degenerate Kernel
Approximation.  Quadrature Methods.  Projection Methods.  Iterative
Solution and Stability.  Equations of the First Kind.  Tikhonov
Regularization.  Regularization by Discretization.  Inverse Boundary
Value Problems.  References.  Index.
