By virtue of their special algebraic structures, Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves offer unique advantages for computer-aided design and manufacturing, robotics, motion control, path planning, computer graphics, animation, and related fields.
Inverse problems arise whenever one tries to calculate a required quantity from given measurements of a second quantity that is associated to the first one.
The lecture courses of the CIME Summer School on Probabilistic Models for Nonlinear PDE's and their Numerical Applications (April 1995) had a three-fold emphasis: first, on the weak convergence of stochastic integrals; second, on the probabilistic interpretation and the particle approximation of equations coming from Physics (conservation laws, Boltzmann-like and Navier-Stokes equations); third, on the modelling of networks by interacting particle systems.
While optimality conditions for optimal control problems with state constraints have been extensively investigated in the literature the results pertaining to numerical methods are relatively scarce.
This book starts with an overview of the research of Grobner bases which have many applications in various areas of mathematics since they are a general tool for the investigation of polynomial systems.
When the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) launched its collabora- tive research centre or SFB (Sonderforschungsbereich) 438 "e;Mathematical Modelling, Simulation, and Verification in Material-Oriented Processes and Intelligent Systems"e; in July 1997 at the Technische Vniversitat Munchen and at the Vniversitat Augsburg, southern Bavaria got its second nucleus of the still young discipline scientific computing.
Domain decomposition methods provide powerful and flexible tools for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations arising in the modeling of many interesting applications in science and engineering.
Measure and integration wereonceconsidered,especially by many ofthe more practically inclined, to be an esoteric area ofabstract mathematics best left to pure mathematicians.
These lecture notes by very authoritative scientists survey recent advances of mathematics driven by industrial application showing not only how mathematics is applied to industry but also how mathematics has drawn benefit from interaction with real-word problems.
This volume aims to disseminate a number of new ideas that have emerged in the last few years in the field of numerical simulation, all bearing the common denominator of the "e;multiscale"e; or "e;multilevel"e; paradigm.
Spectral theory of bounded linear operators teams up with von Neumann's theory of unbounded operators in this monograph to provide a general framework for the study of stable methods for the evaluation of unbounded operators.
These Lecture Notes contain the material relative to the courses given at the CIME summer school held in Cetraro, Italy from August 29 to September 3, 2011.
Applied Mathematics: Body&Soul is a mathematics education reform p- gram including a series of books, together with associated educational ma- rial and open source software freely available from the project web page at www.
This book consists of six survey contributions that are focused on several open problems of theoretical fluid mechanics both for incompressible and compressible fluids.
In the last few years there has been a growing interest in the development of numerical techniques appropriate for the approximation of differential model problems presenting multiscale solutions.
High-Performance Computers (HPC) have initiated a revolutionary develop- ment in research and technology since many complex and challenging prob- lems in this area can only be solved by HPC and a network in modeling, algo- rithms and software.
This volume consists ofsurvey articles on current topics in computational wave prop- agation and inverse problems, written by leading experts in their respective fields.
We believe that to understand and be comfortable with mathematical con- cepts and methods, it is necessary to do mathematics and, traditionally, doing meant with a pencil and paper.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of digital trace data research in information systems and reflects on its idiosyncrasies throughout all phases of a research project.
