Multiplicative Partial Differential Equations

Multiplicative Partial Differential Equations presents an introduction to the theory of multiplicative partial differential equations (MPDEs). It is suitable for all types of basic courses on MPDEs. The authors'' aim is to present a clear and well-organized treatment of the concepts behind the development of mathematics and solution techniques. The text is presented in a highly readable, mathematically solid format. Many practical problems are illustrated, displaying a wide variety of solution techniques.FeaturesIncludes new classification and canonical forms of second-order MPDEsProposes the latest techniques in solving the multiplicative wave equation such as the method of separation of variables and the energy methodUseful in allowing for the basic properties of multiplicative elliptic problems, fundamental solutions, multiplicative integral representation of multiplicative harmonic functions, meant-value formulas, strong principle of maximum, multiplicative Poisson equation, multiplicative Green functions, method of separation of variables, and theorems of Liouville and Harnack
