About this title

Synopsis

This book focuses on the cultivation of integration-based analytic and numerical methods. Contributors draw from a host of physical domains, and propose diverse treatments for various mathematical models through the use of integration as an essential solution tool. These new results are a good starting point for future investigation into the interdisciplinary world of integral methods. Professionals, researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in applied mathematics, numerical analysis, physics, and mechanical engineering will find this book a practical resource.

Review

"These proceedings contain invited and contributed papers presented on [the] occasion of [a] 2002 meeting in Saint Étienue, France. The contributions tackle quite naturally very diverse field and can[not] possibly be described in content in a few words. Let us therefore just mention the contents of three contributions. – P.A. Martin discusses fundamental solutions of various partial differential equations in connection with functionally graded materials, in the case that the material properties vary exponentially in one direction. In another paper, M.-C. Rivara and N. Hitschfeld discuss mesh generation algorithms, which automatically refine and improve the triangulation. Finally, B. Rutily discusses some aspects of multiple scattering theory, in particular methods under development applicable especially in problems of stellar atmospheres."
