This monograph focuses on the mathematical modeling of distributed parameter systems in which mass/energy transport or wave propagation phenomena occur and which are described by partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. The case of linear (or linearized) 2 x 2 hyperbolic systems of balance laws is considered, i.e., systems described by two coupled linear partial differential equations…

Kami memperkenalkan modul-D twistor campuran dan membangun sifat funktorial dasarnya. Kami juga membuktikan bahwa mereka dapat digambarkan sebagai perekatan variasi yang dapat diterima dari struktur twistor campuran. Dalam arti tertentu, modul D twistor campuran dapat dianggap sebagai versi twistor dari modul Hodge campuran M. Saito. Atau, mereka dapat dilihat sebagai versi campuran dari modul-…
