Numerical discretization in one dimension. Further concepts in one dimension. Periodic functions. The fractional Laplacian in three dimensions. The fractional Laplacian in two dimensions. Appendices. References. Index.ReviewsThe book under review includes an introductory discussion on the fractional Laplacian which should be accessible to scientists who may not be mathematicians. Practical numerical computations are particularly emphasized, and the book includes many exercises. The fundamental ideas are presented without the traditional organization into theorems and proofs. Here is the list of chapter headings: 1. The fractional Laplacian in one dimension. 2. Numerical discretization in one dimension. 3. Further concepts in one dimension. 4. Periodic functions. 5. The fractional Laplacian in three dimensions. 6. The fractional Laplacian in two dimensions. There are also several appendices: A. Selected de nite integrals. B. The Gamma function. C. The Gaussian distribution. D. The fractional Laplacian in arbitrary dimensions. E. Fractional derivatives. F. Aitken extrapolation of an in nite sum. ~Daniel Belita, Mathematical Reviews, 2017 The book under review includes an introductory discussion on the fractional Laplacian which should be accessible to scientists who may not be mathematicians.
