Composites have been studied for more than 150 years, and interest in their properties has been growing. This classic volume provides the foundations for understanding a broad range of composite properties, including electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, elastic and viscoelastic, piezoelectric, thermal, fluid flow through porous materials, ......
The Mathematical Elasticity set contains three self-contained volumes that together provide the only modern treatise on elasticity. They introduce contemporary research on three-dimensional elasticity, the theory of plates, and the theory of shells. Each volume contains proofs, detailed surveys of all mathematical prerequisites, and many problems ......
Adopting a variational approach, this self-contained textbook presents the basic principles of optimal control governed by ODEs. Inside, readers will encounter the fundamental issues of existence of optimal solutions, optimality conditions, and numerical approximation from a variational perspective, academic and real-world examples testing the ......

This self-contained textbook covers the fundamentals of two basic topics of linear functional analysis: locally convex spaces and harmonic analysis. Readers will find detailed introductions to topological vector spaces, distribution theory, weak topologies, Fourier transform, Hilbert transform, and Calderon-Zygmund singular integrals. An ideal ......
This unabridged republication of the 1980 text, an established classic in the field, is a resource for many important topics in elliptic equations and systems and is the first modern treatment of free boundary problems. Variational inequalities (equilibrium or evolution problems typically with convex constraints) are carefully explained in An ......
"Iterative Solution of Nonlinear Equations in Several Variables" provides a survey of the theoretical results on systems of nonlinear equations in finite dimension and the major iterative methods for their computational solution. Originally published in 1970, it offers a research-level presentation of the principal result known at that time. ......
In less than 100 pages, this text covers the main vector variational methods developed to solve nonlinear elasticity problems. Presenting a general framework with a tight focus, the author provides a comprehensive exposition of a technically difficult, yet rapidly developing area of modern applied mathematics. The work includes the classical ......
