This book introduces the basic ideas for building discontinuous Galerkin methods and, at the same time, incorporates several recent mathematical developments. It is to a large extent self-contained and is intended for graduate students and researchers in numerical analysis. The …
Assuming no knowledge of programming, this book presents both programming concepts and MATLAB's built-in functions, providing a perfect platform for exploiting MATLAB's extensive capabilities for tackling engineering problems. It starts with programming concepts such as variable…
"This handbook is essential for solving numerical problems in mathematics, computer science, and engineering. The methods presented are similar to finite elements but more adept at solving analytic problems with singularities over irregularly shaped yet analytically described re…
"This book deals with the Finite Element Method for the analysis of elastic structures such as beams, plates, shells and solids. The modern approach of Unified Formulation (UF), as proposed by the lead author, deals with the consideration of one-dimensional (beams), two-dimensio…

The finite element method (FEM) is a computational tool widely used to design and analyse complex structures. Currently, there are a number of different approaches to analysis using the FEM that vary according to the type of structure being analysed: beams and plates may use 1D …
Numerical Methods using MATLAB, 3rd edition is an extensive reference offering hundreds of useful and important numerical algorithms that can be implemented into MATLAB for a graphical interpretation to help researchers analyze a particular outcome. Many worked examples are give…
"With the advent of approximation algorithms for NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, several techniques from exact optimization such as the primal-dual method have proven their staying power and versatility. This book describes a simple and powerful method that is itera…
The first volume of the proceedings of the 7th conference on "Finite Volumes for Complex Applications" (Berlin, June 2014) covers topics that include convergence and stability analysis, as well as investigations of these methods from the point of view of compatibility with physi…
"Discrete optimization problems are everywhere, from traditional operations research planning problems, such as scheduling, facility location, and network design; to computer science problems in databases; to advertising issues in viral marketing. Yet most such problems are NP-h…
This third in a suite of four practical guides is an engineer's companion to using numerical methods for the solution of complex mathematical problems. It explains the theory behind current numerical methods and shows in a step-by-step fashion how to use them. The volume focuses…
Mit diesem einführenden Werk befindet sich seit langem wieder ein aktuelles Buch zur numerischen Mathematik auf dem deutschen Markt, das auf die Lehrpläne der Universitäten abgestimmt ist. Die Darstellungen sind dem üblichen Stoffumfang einer Einführungsvorlesung angepasst und b…
Differential Quadrature and Differential Quadrature Based Element Methods: Theory and Applications is a comprehensive guide to these methods and their various applications in recent years. Due to the attractive features of rapid convergence, high accuracy, and computational effi…
