Distributions : generalized functions with applications in Sobolev spaces /
This book grew out of a course taught in the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, which was tailored to the needs of the applied community of mathematicians, engineers, physicists etc., who were interested in studying the problems of mathematical physics in general and t...
