About the Book

Introduction to Scattering Theory and Time-Dependent Theory of Linear Equations by Rolf Leis is a comprehensive introduction to classical scattering theory and the time-dependent theory of linear equations in mathematical physics. This textbook is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics and applied mathematics, providing an essential foundation in these fundamental topics.

The book covers a range of critical subjects, including the proof of the existence of wave operators, as well as key equations in mathematical physics such as the Maxwell equations, the linear equations of elasticity and thermoelasticity, and the plate equation. Additionally, it explores exterior boundary value problems, radiation conditions, and the limiting absorption principle.

This self-contained volume offers a complete treatment of all concepts, making it suitable not only for students but also for researchers interested in these complex theories. The extensive reference list at the end of the book provides valuable suggestions for further reading, offering a pathway for continued exploration of the subject.

Based on the author's lectures at the University of Bonn in 1983–84, this book will prove useful to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of mathematical physics and scattering theory, bridging the gap between theory and application in these advanced fields
