{"product_id":"asymptotic-perturbation-theory-of-waves-lev-ostrovsky-9781848162358","title":"Asymptotic Perturbation Theory of Waves","description":"This book is an introduction to the perturbation theory for linear and nonlinear waves in dispersive and dissipative media. The main focus is on the direct asymptotic method which is based on the asymptotic expansion of the solution in series of one or more small parameters and demanding finiteness of the perturbations; this results in slow variation of the main-order solution. The method, which does not depend on integrability of basic equations, is applied to quasi-harmonic and non-harmonic periodic waves, as well as to localized waves such as solitons, kinks, and autowaves. The basic theoretical ideas are illustrated by many physical examples throughout the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lev Ostrovsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848162359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848162358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Lev Ostrovsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136917811455,"sku":"9781848162358","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd461da4-1e86-4cc3-a32f-7f72d00e6e5f.jpg?v=1770165320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asymptotic-perturbation-theory-of-waves-lev-ostrovsky-9781848162358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
