Multiscale Methods

Averaging and Homogenization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This introduction to multiscale methods explores both theory and applications. Examples show how to apply multiscale methods to solve a variety of problems. Exercises then enable readers to build their own skills and put them into practice.

Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the physical and biological sciences, provoking a blurring of boundaries between scienti?c disciplines and a resurgence of interest in the modern as well as the classical techniques of applied mathematics. This renewal of interest, both in research and teaching, has led to the establishment of the series Texts in Applied Mathematics (TAM). The development of new courses is a natural consequence of a high level of excitement on the research frontier as newer techniques, such as numerical and s- bolic computer systems, dynamical systems, and chaos, mix with and reinforce the traditional methods of applied mathematics. Thus, the purpose of this textbook - ries is to meet the current and future needs of these advances and to encourage the teaching of new couses. TAM will publish textbooks suitable for use in advanced undergraduate and - ginning graduate courses, and will complement the Applied Mathematical Sciences (AMS) series, which will focus on advanced textbooks and research-level mo- graphs.

Rezensionen

From the reviews: "The book is devoted to introduce problems in which different scales may appear. The value of the book is that a wide class of problems is presented and consequently different techniques used to attack these problems are shown. The book is divided in three different parts. ... it can be used as a handbook for the arguements treated in the sequel." (Fabio Paronetto, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1160, 2009)
