Nonlinear Waves in Inhomogeneous and Hereditary Media

Nonlinear Waves in Inhomogeneous and Hereditary Media

0 - Default Title
Description
This monograph presents the study of one-dimensional waves in inhomogeneous and hereditary media (i.e., media with memory). A new mathematically rigorous factorization method is applied which yields either an exact or an asymptotic decomposition of the nonlinear wave equations under consideration into first order multipliers. A central result presented in the book is a factorization theorem for the simple wave equation with constant coefficients. It permits to view Riemann invariants and simple waves from a different angle and is used to go over to wave equations with variable coefficients and memory.
