Rota-Baxter代數(shù)由一個結合代數(shù)和一個線性算子組成,該算子滿足微積分的分部積分公式中的等式。Rota-Baxter代數(shù)20世紀60年代起源于隨機理論。本世紀以來,Rota-Baxter代數(shù)不僅在理論法方面得到了突飛猛進的發(fā)展,并且在數(shù)學物理、數(shù)論、組合等方面得到了廣泛的應用。盡管過去的幾十年有很多有關于Rota-Baxter代數(shù)的文章,但是還缺乏一本系統(tǒng)介紹Rota-Baxter代數(shù)的專著。《Rota-Baxter代數(shù)導論(英文版)》就是第一本介紹該領域的著作,通過大量的例子以及各種應用之間的聯(lián)系,詳細介紹了Rota-Baxter代數(shù),包括它的三個重要方面。
本書可作為代數(shù)、組合、數(shù)論和數(shù)學物理領域的研究生教材或參考書,也可供相關的研究人員參考。
作者郭鋰為美國Rutgers大學教授,是Rota-Baxter代數(shù)及相關結構近年來進展的主要貢獻者之一。郭鋰教授在Noticesof the American Mathematical Society發(fā)表的文章WHAT IS a Rota-BaxterAlgebra將這個新的研究領域帶入了數(shù)學公眾的視野。
