The 3rd edition is thoroughly revised, applications are substantially enriched, it includes a new account of the early history of the subject (from 1800 to 1957) and a new chapter recounting the recent solution of open problems of long standing in classical aerodynamics. The bibliography comprises now over fifteen hundred titles. From the reviews: "The author is known as one of the leading experts in the field. His masterly written book is, surely, the most complete exposition in the subject of conservations laws." --Zentralblatt MATH
This volume collects papers dedicated to Jerry Ericksen on his sixtieth birthday, December 20, 1984. They first appeared in Volumes 82-90 (1983-1985) of the Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis. At the request of the Editors the list of authors to be invited was drawn up by C. M. Dafermos, D. D. Joseph, and F. M. Leslie. The breadth and depth of the works here reprinted reflect the corresponding qualities in Jerry Ericksen's research, teaching, scholarship, and inspiration. His interests and expertness center upon the mechanics of materials and extend to everything that may contribute to it: pure analysis, algebra, geometry, through all aspects of theoretical mechanics to fundamental ...
Conservation laws are the mathematical expression of the principles of conservation and provide effective and accurate predictive models of our physical world. Although intense research activity during the last decades has led to substantial advances in the development of powerful computational methods for conservation laws, their solution remains a challenge and many questions are left open; thus it is an active and fruitful area of research. Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws: From Analysis to Algorithms: offers the first comprehensive introduction to modern computational methods and their analysis for hyperbolic conservation laws, building on intense research activities for more than...
This volume is a collection of original research papers and expository articles stemming from the scientific program of the Nonlinear PDE Emphasis Year held at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) in March 1998. The book offers a cross-section of the most significant recent advances and current trends and directions in nonlinear partial differential equations and related topics. The book's contributions offer two perspectives. There are papers on general analytical treatment of the theory and papers on computational methods and applications originating from significant realistic mathematical models of natural phenomena. Also included are articles that bridge the gap between these two perspectives, seeking synergistic links between theory and modeling and computation. The volume offers direct insight into recent trends in PDEs. This volume is also available on the Web. Those who purchase the print edition can gain free access by going to www.ams.org/conm/.
This text corresponds to a graduate mathematics course taught at Carnegie Mellon University in the spring of 1999. Included are comments added to the lecture notes, a bibliography containing 23 items, and brief biographical information for all scientists mentioned in the text, thus showing that the creation of scientific knowledge is an international enterprise.
This book examines the well-posedness theory for nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, recently completed by the author together with his collaborators. It covers the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of classical entropy solutions. It also introduces the reader to the developing theory of nonclassical (undercompressive) entropy solutions. The systems of partial differential equations under consideration arise in many areas of continuum physics.
