In diesem Buch wird zum ersten Mal eine bislang unbekannte allgemeine Lösung der zuverlässig bekannten Spannungsbedingungen vorgestellt. Diese allgemeine Lösung bildet eine zuverlässige und neue Ausgangsbasis, um bei Spannungsberechnungen weiter zu kommen als bisher.

So lassen sich annähernd realistische Lösungen finden trotz eines immer wiederkehrenden Problems: der Informationsdefizite, die wegen der schwierigen Erkundung von Gletschern unvermeidlich sind. Diese Thematik wird am Beisp

This book concerns the theory of optimal transport (OT) and its applications to solving problems in geometric optics. It is a self-contained presentation including a detailed analysis of the Monge problem, the Monge-Kantorovich problem, the transshipment problem, and the network flow problem. A chapter on Monge-Ampère measures is included containing also exercises. A detailed analysis of the Wasserstein metric is also carried out. For the applications to optics, the book describes the necessa

The text is intended for students who wish a concise and rapid introduction to some main topics in PDEs, necessary for understanding current research, especially in nonlinear PDEs. Organized on three parts, the book guides the reader from fundamental classical results, to some aspects of the modern theory and furthermore, to some techniques of nonlinear analysis. Compared to other introductory books in PDEs, this work clearly explains the transition from classical to generalized solutions and

Dr. Costas J. Papachristou is a senior faculty member at the Hellenic Naval Academy (The Naval Academy of Greece). He received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Brigham Young University, USA, and spent another year at BYU as a research faculty in Physics. At the HNA, he teaches freshman- and sophomore-level Physics. His research interests are mainly in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics (in particular, symmetry and integrability properties of classical field equations, classical electroma

Cet ouvrage est consacré à une introduction aux problèmes inverses elliptiques et paraboliques. L’ objectif est de présenter quelques méthodes récentes pour établir des résultats d’unicité et de stabilité. Seront traités quelques problèmes inverses elliptiques devenus maintenant classiques, tels que la conductivité inverse, la détection de corrosion ou de fissures et les problèmes spectraux inverses. Parmi les problèmes inverses paraboliques considérés figurent le problème classique de retrou

The Introduction to Navier-Stokes Equation and Oceanography corresponds to a graduate course in mathematics, taught at Carnegie Mellon University in the spring of 1999. Comments were added to the lecture notes distributed to the students, as well as short biographical information for all scientists mentioned in the text, the purpose being to show that the creation of scientific knowledge is an international enterprise, and who contributed to it, from where, and when. The goal of the

This book has a two-fold purpose:

1. An introduction to the computer-based modeling of influenza, a continuing major worldwide communicable disease.
2. The use of (1) as an illustration of a methodology for the computer-based modeling of communicable diseases.

For the purposes of (1) and (2), a basic influenza model is formulated as a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) th
