Oscillation Theory of Partial Differential Equations

This unique book is designed to provide the reader with an exposition of interesting aspects -- encompassing both rudimentary and advanced knowledge -- of oscillation theory of partial differential equations, which dates back to the publication in 1955 of a paper by Ph Hartman and A Wintner. The objective of oscillation theory is to acquire as much information as possible about the qualitative properties of solutions of differential equations through the analysis of laws governing the distribution of zeros of solutions as well as the asymptotic behavior of solutions of differential equations under consideration.This textbook on oscillation theory of partial differential equations is useful for both specialists and graduate students working in the field of differential equations. The book will also help to stimulate further progress in the study of oscillation theory and related subjects.
