B. Melrose's b-calculus provides a framework for dealing with problems of partial differential equations that arise in singular or degenerate geometric situations. This article is a somewhat informal short course introducing many of the basic ideas of this world, assuming little more than a basic analysis and manifold background. As examples, classical pseudodifferential operators on manifolds and b-pseudodifferential (also known as totally characteristic) operators on manifolds with boundary are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-10-31T14:19:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58-01", "35-01" ], "keywords": [ "partial differential equations", "degenerate geometric situations", "somewhat informal short course introducing", "melroses b-calculus", "basic ideas" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 55, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math.....10314G" } } }
