This tag is for questions regarding to the Pseudo-differential operator, acting on a space of functions on a differentiable manifold, that can locally be described by definite rules using a certain function. It satisfies estimates for the derivatives analogous to the estimates for derivatives of polynomials, which are symbols of differential operators.

a question about first-order hyperbolic equations

Performing certain manipulations on pseudo-differential equations I have come across the following first order equation: $$ D_{t}u-\lambda(t,x,D_{t},D_{x})u=0, \ \ (*) $$ where $\lambda$ is a scalar p …

second order operator with real coefficients and not locally solvable

The following example is an second order differential operator with real coefficients defined on $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ which is not solvable about origin: $Pu=(x_{2}^{2}-x_{3}^{2})D_{1}^{2}u+(1+x_{1}^{2}) …

Pseudo-differential operators which are independent of lower order perturbations

In the area of pseudo-differential operators, we know that for elliptic type or real principal type operators reductions are independent of lower order terms. For example, if $P$ is zeroth order real …

Why take 'complex powers' of pseudo-differential operators?

Given a pseudo-differential operator $P$ of order zero, Seeley showed that the holomorphic family of operators $\lbrace P^{z} : z\in \mathbb{C} \rbrace$ of all complex powers is contained in the clas …

Functions of pseudodifferential operators

Since the question posed is about the "In what way does the type of operator or the type of function matter?", I thought the following observation will be apt: As pointed out by Liviu Nicolaescu in th …

Why is symplectic geometry so important in modern PDE ?

Fourier Integral Operator is an operator which has its Schwartz kernel as a distribution whose singularities are on a Lagrangian submanifold. In fact, we can associate a FIO with an amplitude and a La …

Why is symplectic geometry so important in modern PDE ?

As the cotangent space has a natural symplectic structure, we can also phrase the question as "Why is cotangent space so important in modern pde?". A nice answer for this question is given in http://m …

Motivation for and history of pseudo-differential operators

A slightly different motivation for fourier integral operators and pseudo-differential operators is given in the first chapter of this book - Fourier Integral Operators, chapter V. W. Guillemin: 25 Ye …
