Arising from the growing interest in dynamical systems theory, this book explores the derivation of relatively simple dynamical equations that model complex physical interactions. It unifies into one coherent approach many varied extant methods for model reduction and approximation. Using mathematical models at various levels of resolution and ......
Scattering theory, a powerful method for the analysis of PDEs, represents one of the most important developments in mathematical physics of recent decades. This classic book is ideal as a supplemental text in a graduate course on scattering theory or inverse problems, and will also be of interest to research scientists in mathematics, physics and ......
This classic text focuses on elliptic boundary value problems in domains with nonsmooth boundaries and on problems with mixed boundary conditions. Its contents are essential for an understanding of the behavior of numerical methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) on two-dimensional domains with corners. Elliptic Problems in Nonsmooth ......
From the Preface: 'The aim of this book is to offer a discussion of the fundamental concepts in the theory of differential and integral equations, with a view toward preparing the reader for graduate-level courses on advanced topics. This book can also serve a graduate-level course for non-mathematics majors. Students of various disciplines have ......
Asymptotic methods are frequently used in many branches of both pure and applied mathematics, and this classic text remains the most up-to-date book dealing with one important aspect of this area, namely, asymptotic approximations of integrals. In Asymptotic Approximations of Integrals, all results are proved rigorously, and many of the ......
Computational Integration is the first book in over 10 years dedicated to a comprehensive discussion of computational integration methods and the fundamental mathematical principles they are based on. It gives special coverage of many recent developments, such as parallel integration algorithms, that have not yet been coherently presented in any ......
Designed to offer applied mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engineers, geophysicists, and other scientists an elementary level explanation of integral equations of the first kind. It maintains a casual, conversational approach. It emphasizes understanding, while deliberately avoiding special methods of highly limited application. Special ......
Presents an aspect of activity in integral equations methods for the solution of Volterra equations for those who need to solve real-world problems. Since there are few known analytical methods leading to closed-form solutions, the emphasis is on numerical techniques. The major points of the analytical methods used to study the properties of the ......
