Produktbeschreibung

The implicit function theorem is part of the bedrock of mathematical analysis and geometry. Finding its genesis in eighteenth century studies of real analytic functions and mechanics, the implicit and inverse function theorems have now blossomed into powerful tools in the theories of partial differential equations, differential geometry, and geometric analysis.

There are many different forms of the implicit function theorem, including (i) the classical formulation for C^k functions, (ii) formulations in other function spaces, (iii) formulations for non-smooth functions, and (iv) formulations for functions with degenerate Jacobian. Particularly powerful implicit function theorems, such as the Nash-Moser theorem, have been developed for specific applications (e.g., the imbedding of Riemannian manifolds). All of these topics, and many more, are treated in the present uncorrected reprint of this classic monograph.

Originally published in 2002, The Implicit Function Theorem is an accessible and thorough treatment of implicit and inverse function theorems and their applications. It will be of interest to mathematicians, graduate/advanced undergraduate students, and to those who apply mathematics. The book unifies disparate ideas that have played an important role in modern mathematics. It serves to document and place in context a substantial body of mathematical ideas.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book under review balances the historical analyses with presentations and discussions of the proofs of some formulations of the implicit function theorem. ... The authors have taken some care to make the book self-contained, and as such a well-motivated undergraduate student can profitably read many parts of it, and the whole book is within the reach of a first-year graduate student." (Felipe Zaldivar, MAA Reviews, March, 2013)

The authors offer a useful and fascinating manuscript which should be of interest and useful to graduate and postgraduate students, professional mathematicians, teachers as well as researchers. Most of them will be able to find all fundamental ideas in the field and simple and transparent proofs of all main implicit function theorems and theorems closely related to these. -Zentralblatt MATH¿
