The main focus is on time-dependent partial differential equations with a particular structure in the Hilbert space setting that ensures well-posedness and causality, two essential properties of any reasonable model in mathematical physics or engineering. As a unique feature, this powerful tool for tackling time-dependent partial differential equations is subsequently applied to many equations. By means of illustrative examples, from the straightforward to the more complex, the authors show that many of the classical models in mathematical physics as well as more recent models of novel materials and interactions are covered, or can be restructured to be covered, by this unified Hilbert space approach. The reader should require only a basic foundation in the theory of Hilbert spaces and operators therein. For convenience, however, some of the more technical background requirements are covered in detail in the appendix. The theory is kept as elementary as possible, making the material suitable for a senior undergraduate or master’s level course. In addition, researchers in a variety of fields whose work involves partial differential equations and applied operator theory will also greatly benefit from this approach to structuring their mathematical models in order that the general theory can be applied to ensure the essential properties of well-posedness and causality.Frontiers in Mathematics,1660-8046Partial differential equationsPartial Differential Equationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12155Partial differential equations.Partial Differential Equations.515.353McGhee Desauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut59781Picard Rainerauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTrostorff Saschaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWaurick Marcusauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418252003316A Primer for a Secret Shortcut to PDEs of Mathematical Physics1965973UNISA03100nam 22005175 450 991076547790332120251008153558.09783031448331303144833210.1007/978-3-031-44833-1(MiAaPQ)EBC30954311(Au-PeEL)EBL30954311(CKB)28887504200041(OCoLC)1411308655(DE-He213)978-3-031-44833-1(EXLCZ)992888750420004120231117d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Emancipatory Power of the Body in Everyday Life Niches of Liberation /by Leszek Koczanowicz1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2023.1 online resource (148 pages)Print version: Koczanowicz, Leszek The Emancipatory Power of the Body in Everyday Life Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2024 9783031448324 Chapter 1 Concepts: Somapower, the Microphysics of Emancipation, and the Politics of Everyday Life -- Chapter 2 Applications: Everyday Life, the Body and Strategies of Resistance -- Chapter 3 The Pandemic and the Politics of the Body -- Chapter 4 Conclusions.The COVID-19 pandemic has powerfully highlighted the tight knot of bodiliness and politics. This relationship lies at the heart of this book. The author explores how events in everyday life take on a deeply political dimension, and how the body becomes a site of political practice. Subject to regulation, the body functions as a vehicle of oppressive social influences, and has been studied as such by philosophers within the framework of biopolitics. However, the body is also a locus of resistance and rebellion against the entrenched rules, a quality which the author refers to as somapower. The revolt of the body usually begins and develops beyond political spaces – in emancipatory cultural niches, which may gradually accrue political resonance. While this microphysics of emancipation, with its potential for remodeling political life, is particularly important in authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, it is also a relevant force in democracies, where it may foster social change.
