This exposition introduces new developments of pseudo-differential operators on manifolds with singularities such as conical points, edges, or higher corners, and recent results in these fields. It presents some crucial parts of recent inventions in singular analysis which contribute to pseudo-differential structures and establishes new insight to building up singular operators in corresponding operator algebras with symbolic structures.
Researchers in the field will find the presented techniques in this book a valuable resource and inspiration for their own projects.
