Mathematics : Differential Equations

This volume contains papers that were presented at HYP2006, the eleventh international Conference on Hyperbolic Problems: Theory, Numerics and Applications held at the Ecole Normale Sup??rieure de Lyon, France, July 17-21, 2006. This biennial series of conferences has become one of the most important international events in Applied Mathematics. As computers became more and more powerful, the interplay between theory, modelling, and numerical algorithms gained considerable impact, and the scope of HYP conferences expanded accordingly. The field is currently in interaction with a variety of scientific domains, including fluid dynamics, physics, electromagnetism, chemistry, biology, road and network traffic, and engineering. Many of these papers present new effective numerical methods and their application in various contexts. more...

The present Cime volume includes 4 lecture courses by Bressan, Serre, Zumbrun and Williams and a Tutorial by Bressan on the Center Manifold Theorem. Bressan??'s notes start with an extensive review of hyperbolic conservation laws. Then he introduces the vanishing viscosity approach and explains clearly the building blocks of the theory in particular the crucial role of the decomposition by travelling waves. Serre focuses on existence and stability for discrete shock profiles, he reviews the existence both in the rational than in the irrational cases and gives a concise introduction to the use of spectral methods for stability analysis. Finally the lectures by Williams and Zumbrun deal with the stability of multidimensional fronts. Williams??? lectures describe the stability of multidimensional viscous shocks. Zumbrun discusses planar stability for viscous shocks with a realistic physical viscosity, and necessary and sufficient conditions for nonlinear stability. more...

An Introduction to Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations is a textbook on nonlinear partial differential equations. It is technique oriented with an emphasis on applications and is designed to build a foundation for studying advanced treatises in the field. The Second Edition features an updated bibliography as well as an increase in the number of exercises. All software references have been updated with the latest version of MATLAB®, the corresponding graphics have also been updated using MATLAB®. An increased focus on hydrogeology and mathematical biology is evident in the new edition. Hints and solutions to selected exercises have been added to the back of the book. The book emphasizes hyperbolic and parabolic problems and includes a range of applications in the following areas: biology, chemistry, porous media, biological problems, combustion and detonation, traffic flow, water waves, plug flow reactors, and heat transfer. Early chapters offer insight into how to understand problems involving phenomena, how specific equations describe evolutionary processes, and what the terms in such equations describe physically. When discussing wave propagination and hyperbolic problems, the text develops algorithms to solve first-order equations and highlights the concept of the weak solution. The material in the book is presented in such a manner that many of the chapters are independent, which allows for instructors' flexibility to design several courses around various topics. more...
