Non-linear waves in dispersive media /
Non-Linear Waves in Dispersive Media introduces the theory behind such topic as the gravitational waves on water surfaces. Some limiting cases of the theory, wherein proof of an asymptotic class is necessary and generated, are also provided. The first section of the book discusses the notion of line...
