Rota-Baxter代數(shù)由一個(gè)結(jié)合代數(shù)和一個(gè)線(xiàn)性算子組成,該算子滿(mǎn)足微積分的分部積分公式中的等式。Rota-Baxter代數(shù)20世紀(jì)60年代起源于隨機(jī)理論。本世紀(jì)以來(lái),Rota-Baxter代數(shù)不僅在理論法方面得到了突飛猛進(jìn)的發(fā)展,并且在數(shù)學(xué)物理、數(shù)論、組合等方面得到了廣泛的應(yīng)用。盡管過(guò)去的幾十年有很多有關(guān)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(zhuān)著。《Rota-Baxter代數(shù)導(dǎo)論(英文版)》就是第一本介紹該領(lǐng)域的著作,通過(guò)大量的例子以及各種應(yīng)用之間的聯(lián)系,詳細(xì)介紹了Rota-Baxter代數(shù),包括它的三個(gè)重要方面。
本書(shū)可作為代數(shù)、組合、數(shù)論和數(shù)學(xué)物理領(lǐng)域的研究生教材或參考書(shū),也可供相關(guān)的研究人員參考。
作者郭鋰為美國(guó)Rutgers大學(xué)教授,是Rota-Baxter代數(shù)及相關(guān)結(jié)構(gòu)近年來(lái)進(jìn)展的主要貢獻(xiàn)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(gè)新的研究領(lǐng)域帶入了數(shù)學(xué)公眾的視野。
