The problems treated in this book are of a mathematical nature, but have important physical applications. The book is the result of two decades spent developing and refining the phase-integral method to a high level of precision. The authors have worked through the years to apply this method to problems in various fields of theoretical physics. It will be useful to research workers in various branches of theoretical physics, where the problems can be reduced to one-dimensional second-order differential equations of the Schrodinger type for which phase-integral solutions are required. These branches include quantum mechanics and the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation, as well as calculation of normal-mode frequencies of black holes. The book includes contributions from several scientists who have used the author's technique.

Linnaeus, B. Lundborg, and E. Walles. If this text has been translated, the translation in unattributed. Language: English. Weight: 19.5 ounces. Bright yellow boards with black titles at the front panel and black titles at the back-strip. Hardcover: No DJ as issued. The efficiency of the phase-integral method developed by the present au thors has been shown both analytically and numerically in many publica tions. With the inclusion of supplementary quantities, closely related to new Stokes constants and obtained with the aid of comparison equation technique, important classes of problems in which transition points may approach each other become accessible to accurate analytical treatment. The exposition in this monograph is of a mathematical nature but has important physical applications, some examples of which are found in the adjoined papers. Thus, we would like to emphasize that, although we aim at mathematical rigor, our treatment is made primarily with physical needs in mind. ; Springer Tracts in Natural Philosophy; Vol. 40; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; x, 250 pages.
