Beschreibung
This book presents a method for solving linear ordinary differential equations based on the factorization of the differential operator. In the case of constant coefficients the approach is elementary. The case of variable coefficients is dealt using the result of Mammana about the factorization of a real linear ordinary differential operator into a product of first-order (complex) factors, as well as a recent generalizationof this result to the case of complex-valued coefficients.The work is addressed to graduate students in Mathematics, Physics and Engineering. The chapter on constant coefficients can be used in a first course on differential equations.
