Riassunto

This volume covers many major types of classical equations, including operator equations, functional equations, difference equations, delay-differential equations, integral equations, integro-differential equations, and stochastical differential equations. Its clear organization and copious references make it suitable for graduate students as well as scientists, technologists, and mathematicians. "A welcome contribution." — Math Reviews. 1964 edition.
