In this second volume (4 volume work), Lars Hörmander looks at operators
with constant coefficients. An analysis of the existence and regularity
of (fundamental) solutions in the first two chapters is followed by a
thorough study of the Cauchy problem. He then moves on to cover spectral
theory of short range perturbations of operators with constant
coefficients, and Fourier-Laplace representations of solutions of
homogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients. The last
chapter presents a study of the closely related subject of convolution
operators.
