Partial differential equations: modelling and numerical simulation

This book is dedicated to Olivier Pironneau. For more than 250 years partial differential equations have been clearly the most important tool available to mankind in order to understand a large variety of phenomena, natural at first and then those originating from human activity and technological development. Mechanics, physics and their engineering applications were the first to benefit from the impact of partial differential equations on modeling and design, but a little less than a century ago the Schrödinger equation was the key opening the door to the application of partial differential equations to quantum chemistry, for small atomic and molecular systems at first, but then for systems of fast growing complexity. Covers a wides spectrum of topics related to the numerical solution of partial differential equations Serves as state-of-the-artreference for the scientist or practitioner solving problems in science of engineering described by partial differential equations INDICE: From the contents Part I. Discontinuous Galerkin and Mixed Finite Element Methods. Part II. Linear and Nonlinear Hyperbolic Problems. Part III. Domain Decomposition Methods. Part IV. Free Surface, Moving Boundaries and Spectral Geometry Problems. Part V. Inverse Problems. Part VI. Finance (Option Pricing)
