Navier-Stokes equations are one of the most impactful techniques for modeling physical flow phenomena. The coupling of velocity and pressure, along with the nonlinearity, is a challenge for the mathematical and numerical analysis of these equations. This self-contained book provides a thorough theoretical study of finite element methods for ......
This book is a continuation of the author's earlier book Spline Functions: Computational Methods, published in 2015 by SIAM. This new book focuses on computational methods developed in the last ten years that make use of splines to approximate functions and data and to solve boundary-value problems. The first half of the book works with bivariate ......
Implicit-explicit (IMEX) time discretization methods have proven to be highly effective for the numerical solution of a wide class of evolutionary partial differential equations (PDEs) across various contexts. These methods have become mainstream for solving evolutionary PDEs, particularly in the fields of hyperbolic and kinetic equations. The ......
From Magnetic Fields to Symmetries and Optimization
This self-contained book is the first to provide readers with an introduction to mathematical foundations and modeling of stellarator design. It covers the fundamental theoretical building blocks of magnetic fields modeling, some of the associated challenges, and the main concepts behind optimization for the design of stellarators. The book is ......
This textbook introduces key numerical algorithms used for problems arising in three core areas of scientific computing: calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra. Theoretical results supporting the derivation and error analysis of algorithms are given rigorous justification in the text and exercises, and a wide variety of detailed ......
A Comprehensive Introduction to Modeling, Analysis, Simulation, Applications
Historically, optimal transport was about moving a pile of mortar efficiently or transferring the output of an array of steel mines optimally. This type of problem has been found to arise in many different fields of mathematics, science, and engineering-from fluid dynamics to many-electron physics to artificial intelligence-and in the last three ......
This book provides the mathematical foundations needed for designing practical controllers for linear time-invariant systems. The authors accomplish this by incorporating intentional time delays into measurements with the goal of achieving anticipation capabilities, reduction in noise sensitivity, and a fast response. The benefits of these types ......
As experimental data sets have grown and computational power has increased, new tools have been developed that have the power to model new systems and fundamentally alter how current systems are analyzed. This book brings together modern computational tools to provide an accurate understanding of dynamic data. The techniques build on ......
Predicting the future is a difficult task but, as with the weather, it is possible with good models. But how does one predict the far future before the near future is known? Time parallel time integration, also known as PinT (Parallel-in-Time) methods, aims to predict the near and far future simultaneously. In this self-contained book, the first ......
