Differential Systems and Isometric Embeddings.(AM-114), Volume 114 / / Gary R. Jensen, Phillip A. Griffiths.

The theory of exterior differential systems provides a framework for systematically addressing the typically non-linear, and frequently overdetermined, partial differential equations that arise in differential geometry. Adaptation of the techniques of microlocalization to differential systems have l...
