Zeta Regularization Techniques with Applications

Download or read book Zeta Regularization Techniques with Applications written by E. Elizalde and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of several years of work by the authors on different aspects of zeta functions and related topics. The aim is twofold. On one hand, a considerable number of useful formulas, essential for dealing with the different aspects of zeta-function regularization (analytic continuation, asymptotic expansions), many of which appear here, in book format, for the first time are presented. On the other hand, the authors show explicitly how to make use of such formulas and techniques in practical applications to physical problems of very different nature. Virtually all types of zeta functions are dealt with in the book.
