Series on Advances in Mathematics for Applied Sciences - Vol. 59
NUMERICAL METHODS FOR VISCOSITY SOLUTIONS AND APPLICATIONS
edited by Maurizio Falcone (Universitŕ di Roma "La Sapienza", Italy) & Charalampos Makridakis (University of Crete, Greece)
The volume contains twelve papers dealing with the approximation of first and second order problems which arise in many fields of application including optimal control, image processing, geometrical optics and front propagation. Some contributions deal with new algorithms and technical issues related to their implementation. Other contributions are more theoretical, dealing with the convergence of approximation schemes. Many test problems have been examined to evaluate the performances of the algorithms. The volume can attract readers involved in the numerical approximation of differential models in the above-mentioned fields of applications, engineers, graduate students as well as researchers in numerical analysis.
