Spectral Methods in Surface Superconductivity (Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications)
Spectral Methods in Surface Superconductivity - Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and Their Applications Author:Søren Fournais, Bernard Helffer In the past decade, the mathematics of superconductivity has been the subject of intense study. This book examines in detail the nonlinear Ginzburg–Landau (GL) functional, the model most commonly used. Specifically, cases in the presence of a strong magnetic field and with a sufficiently large GL parameter kappa are covered. Key topics and ... more »features: *Provides a concrete introduction to techniques in spectral theory and PDEs *Offers a complete analysis of the two-dimensional GL-functional with large kappa in the presence of a magnetic field *Treats the three-dimensional case thoroughly *Includes exercises and open problems Spectral Methods in Surface Superconductivity is intended for students and researchers with a graduate level understanding of functional analysis, spectral theory, and PDE analysis. Anything which is not standard is recalled as well as important semiclassical techniques in spectral theory that are involved in the nonlinear study of superconductivity.« less
