Drawing on a wide range of mathematical disciplines, including geometry, analysis, applied mathematics and algebra, this book presents an innovative synthesis of methods used to study problems of equivalence and symmetry which arise in a variety of mathematical fields and physical applications. Systematic and constructive methods for solving equivalence problems and calculating symmetries are developed and applied to a wide variety of mathematical systems, including differential equations, variational problems, manifolds, Riemannian metrics, polynomials and differential operators. Particular emphasis is given to the construction and classification of invariants, and to the reductions of complicated objects to simple canonical forms. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers in geometry, analysis, algebra, mathematical physics and other related fields.
Industry Reviews
"...represents an important effort to present the theory of the equivalence problem in a modern language with many new applications to concrete situations; in the author's words, 'it is a provocative blend of mathematical flavors'. Most of the material is of interest, and easily readable, for a wide class of specialists in different areas, as the book offers applications ranging over a great variety of fields." Jaime Munoz Masque, Mathematical Reviews "Olver's highly original exposition gives a unified approach to a wide variety of problems of this sort via Cartan's equivalence method...this well-written book will interest a wide variety of mathematicians and graduate students." D.V. Feldman, Choice
