This short introduction to microlocal analysis is presented in the spirit of HÃrmander in the classical framework of partial differential equations. This theory has important applications in areas such as harmonic and complex analysis and also in theoretical physics. Here Grigis and SjÃstrand emphasise the basic tools especially the method of stationary phase and they discuss wavefront sets elliptic operators local symplectic geometry and WKB-constructions. The contents of the book correspond to a graduate course given many times by the authors. It should prove to be useful to mathematicians and theoretical physicists either to enrich their general knowledge of this area or as preparation for the current research literature. Language: English
