Heun's Differential Equations

Collating papers from a number of internationally renowned mathematicians, this book surveys both the current theory and the main areas of application of Heun's equation. This crops up in a wide variety of problems in applied mathematics, such as integral equations of potential theory, wave propagation, electrostatic oscillation, and Schrodinger's equation. This major collection will be of interest specifically for those researchers in non-linear Hamiltonian systems, as well as those working in mathematical biology.
