Partial Differential Equations on Multistructures (PDF)

Based on lectures presented at the international conference on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) on Multistructures, held recently in Luminy, France, this unique reference contains the latest advances in the field, compiling up-to-the-minute research on the analyses and applications of multistructures-including current treatments of classical theories, specific characterizations and modelings of multistructures, and timely discusssions on uses in physics, electronics, and biology.





Highlighting nonlinear and numerical analysis, variational calculus, integral equations, and dynamical systems, Partial Differential Equations on Multistructures thoroughly examines



* linear and nonlinear partial differential equations

* interface problems

* ramified spaces, networks, polygonal networks

* spectral theory and inverse spectral theory

* control theory

* finite element methods

* sensitivity and asymptotic analysis

* piezoelectric shells, systems of beams, electric circuits

* and more!



With over 200 useful references and more than 900 helpful equations and drawings, Partial Differential Equations on Multistructures is a state-of-the-art source for all pure and applied mathematicians; mathematical and functional analysts; control theorists; electrical, electronics, and mechanical engineers; physicists; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
