This book is an updated version of the classic 1987 monograph "Spectral Theory and Differential Operators".The original book was a cutting edge account of the theory of bounded and closed linear operators in Banach and Hilbert spaces relevant to spectral problems involving differential equations.It is accessible to a graduate student as well as meeting the needs of seasoned researchers in mathematics and mathematical physics. This revised edition corrects various errors, and adds extensive notes to the end of each chapter which describe the considerable progress that has been made on the topic in the last 30 years.

The Road to Zero Emissions: The Future of Trucks, Transport and Automotive Industry Supply Chains

Review "The Road to Zero Emissions details a clear pathway to the future of road transport and its important relationship with the environment. The success of zero emissions technology requires more efficient and shorter product development times. Rapid technology delivery has been accelerated through successful collaboration between manufacturers who are busy developing products for the wider market and product specialists such as Electra. I am delighted that this important book has been written and that the work of Electra Commercial Vehicles has been included." ― Sid Sadique, Chairman/Owner, Electra Trucks Ltd."Having been responsible for the operation and management of many transport companies and thousands of vehicles over the last 50 years I am well aware of the challenges to achieving Zero Emissions in the future. This comprehensive analysis of the future will provide many transport operators with a guidebook through the maze of options." ― Glyn Davies – Chairman Landex Holdings"Whilst there is a lot of government and media messaging about climate change and protecting the environment, there are few publications if any that address these issues so comprehensively and clearly as in this book." ― Martin Port – Chief Executive Officer, Big Change"The Road to Zero Emissions provides a comprehensive and insightful view of the important issues which will drive the reduction in energy consumption and the environmental impact." ― Bob Harbey – Executive Director, Microlise"Fossil fuel emissions have significantly contributed towards the climate change challenge that is arguably the biggest crisis facing the world today. This book critically examines the choices that industry and governments must make to reduce the threat of climate change, which in turn will have profound consequences for many of the world's leading business units." ― Professor Malcom McDonald – Cranfield University"The Road to Zero Emissions is a timely reminder of the hurdles that need to be overcome in a sector that is currently high risk and low margin. Alternative power source options need to be considered and this will require significant investment." ― Richard Burnett, Chief Executive, Road Haulage Association"The challenge of achieving Zero Emissions will not only require new products, energy systems and infrastructure investment. It will also need to provide training and support for the many levels of management in a very complex supply chain. Business model innovation will be a key driver of change and this book highlights many possible solutions." ― Thomas Van Mouric ― Chairman Culina Group"The Road to Zero Emissions is a concise narrative of the issues and hurdles that manufacturers, transport operators and their supply chains need to face." ― Steve Hobson, Editor, Motor Transport"The Road to Zero Emissions provides a critical examination of how global vehicle manufacturers, transport and logistic organisations and Governments are tackling the threat of climate change." ― Professor Tim Baines, Aston University Business School Product Description The transport industry has an important role to play in addressing climate change and the environmental challenges facing governments, businesses and individuals. Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will require this sector, which is a large contributor of emissions, to innovate, adapt and drive positive change. New technologies including batteries and alternative fuels will all be significant, as will developing different approaches and outlooks.The Road to Zero Emissions is the comprehensive guide for those in the transport industry to understanding what can and is being done to tackle climate change. Through examining established companies and new entrants in the automotive space, readers are provided with examples of the importance of infrastructure, business innovation and financing for the future.

The transport industry has an important role to play in addressing climate change and the environmental challenges facing governments, businesses and individuals. Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 will require this sector, which is a large contributor of emissions, to innovate, adapt and drive positive change. New technologies including batteries and alternative fuels will all be significant, as will developing different approaches and outlooks. The Road to Zero Emissions is the comprehensive guide for those in the transport industry to understanding what can and is being done to tackle climate change. Through examining established companies and new entrants in the automotive space, readers are provided with examples of the importance of infrastructure, business innovation and financing for the future. In addition to this, the role of governments in establishing policies, such as zero-emission zones, is also discussed. Progressing towards zero emissions requires immediate change and this book will start you on the journey.
