Operator Theory and Numerical Methods - (Studies in Mathematics and Its Applications) by H Fujita & N Saito & T Suzuki (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

In accordance with the developments in computation, theoretical studies on numerical schemes are now fruitful and highly needed. In 1991 an article on the finite element method applied to evolutionary problems was published. Following the method, basically this book studies various schemes from operator theoretical points of view. Many parts are devoted to the finite element method, but other schemes and problems (charge simulation method, domain decomposition method, nonlinear problems, and so forth) are also discussed, motivated by the observation that practically useful schemes have fine mathematical structures and the converses are also true.

Review Quotes

"The authors provide a very sharp theoretical study of numerical methods used to solve partial diferential equations of elliptic and parabolic type. Every numerical scheme is thoroughly dissected. As a whole, everything fits together in a harmonious way." --Zentrallblatt fur Mathematik

"The book is efficiently organized and each chapter concludes with a very informative commentary section that provides brief but useful historical, bibliographical or technical comments. --Mathematical Reviews
