This text provides an in-depth analysis of the mathematical foundations of the finite element method. It is a comprehensive reference and introduction to current research on the numerical analysis of the finite element method, as well as a working textbook for graduate courses in numerical analysis. It includes many useful figures and exercises of ......
Originally published in 1981, The Geometry of Random Fields remains an important text for its coverage and exposition of the theory of both smooth and non-smooth random fields; closed form expressions for various geometric characteristics of the excursion sets of smooth, stationary, Gaussian random fields over N-dimensional rectangles; ......
Numerical Solutions of PDEs Involving Interfaces and Irregular Domains
Interface problems arise when there are two different materials, such as water and oil, or the same material at different states, such as water and ice. If partial or ordinary differential equations are used to model these applications, the parameters in the governing equations are typically discontinuous across the interface separating the two ......
The jackknife and the bootstrap are nonparametric methods for assessing the errors in a statistical estimation problem. They provide several advantages over the traditional parametric approach: the methods are easy to describe and they apply to arbitrarily complicated situations; distribution assumptions, such as normality, are never made. This ......
The Lanczos Method: Evolution and Application is divided into two distinct parts. The first part reviews the evolution of one of the most widely used numerical techniques in the industry. The development of the method, as it became more robust, is demonstrated through easy-to-understand algorithms. The second part contains industrial applications ......
Designed for a proof-based course on linear algebra, this rigorous and concise textbook intentionally introduces vector spaces, inner products, and vector and matrix norms before Gaussian elimination and eigenvalues so students can quickly discover the singular value decomposition (SVD)-arguably the most enlightening and useful of all matrix ......
Awarded the Frederick W. Lanchester Prize in 1994 for its valuable contributions to operations research and the management sciences, this mathematically rigorous book remains the standard reference on the linear complementarity problem. Its comprehensive treatment of the computation of equilibria arising from engineering, economics, and finance, ......
The linear sampling method is the oldest and most developed of the qualitative methods in inverse scattering theory. It is based on solving a linear integral equation and then using the equation's solution as an indicator function for the determination of the support of the scattering object. This book describes the linear sampling method for a ......
This book delves into the rapidly changing area of combustion, in which asymptotic methods and bifurcation theory have made a significant impact as have the constant density, small heat release models and other important contributions.
