| Summary |
The mathematical techniques used to handle various water wave problems are varied and fascinating. This book highlights a number of these techniques in connection with investigations of some classes of water wave problems by leading researchers in this field. The first eight chapters discuss linearised theory while the last two cover nonlinear analysis. This book will be an invaluable source of reference for advanced mathematical work in water wave theory |
