Asymptotic and Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations with Critical Parameters: (Closed)): 384 (Nato Science Series C:) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This volume provides a record of the workshop on asymptotic-induced numerical methods for partial differential equations, critical parameters and domain decomposition, held at Beaune, France.
Discussing new computational methods, recent algorithm developments, and state-of-the-art techniques in mathematical modeling, Asymptotic and Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations with Critical Parameters explores important topics in theory and application, including:

• modeling of complex fluid dynamics systems;
• asymptotic-induced domain decomposition methods;
• analysis of strongly nonlinear problems;
• tools available for modern numerical analysis; and
• symbolic manipulation tools for multiscale problems.

This volume contains the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Asymptotic-induced Numerical Methods for Partial Differ­ ential Equations, Critical Parameters, and Domain Decomposition," held at Beaune (France), May 25-28, 1992. The purpose of the workshop was to stimulate the integration of asymp­ totic analysis, domain decomposition methods, and symbolic manipulation tools for the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) with critical parameters. A workshop on the same topic was held at Argonne Na­ tional Laboratory in February 1990. (The proceedings were published under the title Asymptotic Analysis and the Numerical Solu.tion of Partial Differ­ ential Equations, Hans G. Kaper and Marc Garbey, eds., Lecture Notes in Pure and Applied Mathematics. Vol. 130, ·Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1991.) In a sense, the present proceedings represent a progress report on the topic area. Comparing the two sets of proceedings, we see an increase in the quantity as well as the quality of the contributions. 110re research is being done in the topic area, and the interest covers serious, nontrivial problems. We are pleased with this outcome and expect to see even more advances in the next few years as the field progresses.
