Generalized Collocation Methods (Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology) (Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology)

by Nicola Bellomo, Bertrand Lods, and Roberto Revelli

Analysis of nonlinear models and problems is crucial in the application of mathematics to real-world problems. This book approaches this important topic by focusing on collocation methods for solving nonlinear evolution equations and applying them to a variety of mathematical problems. These include wave motion models, hydrodynamic models of vehicular traffic flow, convection-diffusion models, reaction-diffusion models, and population dynamics models. The book may be used as a textbook for graduate courses on collocation methods, nonlinear modeling, and nonlinear differential equations. Examples and exercises are included in every chapter.
