Mathematical Analysis and Numerical Methods for Science and Technology Volume 5 Evolution Problems I / by Robert Dautray, Jacques-Louis Lions.

299 G(t), and to obtain the corresponding properties of its Laplace transform (called the resolvent of - A) R(p) = (A + pl)-l , whose existence is linked with the spectrum of A. The functional space framework used will be, for simplicity, a Banach space(3). To summarise, we wish to extend definition...
