Beskrivning
The fractional Laplacian, also called the Riesz fractional derivative, describes an unusual diffusion process associated with random excursions. The Fractional Laplacian explores applications of the fractional Laplacian in science, engineering, and other areas where long-range interactions and conceptual or physical particle jumps resulting in an irregular diffusive or conductive flux are encountered. Presents the material at a level suitable for a broad audience of scientists and engineers with rudimentary background in ordinary differential equations and integral calculusClarifies the concept of the fractional Laplacian for functions in one, two, three, or an arbitrary number of dimensions defined over the entire space, satisfying periodicity conditions, or restricted to a finite domainCovers physical and mathematical concepts as well as detailed mathematical derivationsDevelops a numerical framework for solving differential equations involving the fractional Laplacian and presents specific algorithms accompanied by numerical results in one, two, and three dimensionsDiscusses viscous flow and physical examples from scientific and engineering disciplinesWritten by a prolific author well known for his contributions in fluid mechanics, biomechanics, applied mathematics, scientific computing, and computer science, the book emphasizes fundamental ideas and practical numerical computation. It includes original material and novel numerical methods.

Recensioner i media

"The book under review includes an introductory discussion on the fractional Laplacian which should be accessible to scientists who may not be mathematicians. Practical numerical computations are particularly emphasized, and the book includes many exercises. The fundamental ideas are presented without the traditional organization into theorems and proofs. Here is the list of chapter headings: 1. The fractional Laplacian in one dimension. 2. Numerical discretization in one dimension. 3. Further concepts in one dimension. 4. Periodic functions. 5. The fractional Laplacian in three dimensions. 6. The fractional Laplacian in two dimensions. There are also several appendices: A. Selected de nite integrals. B. The Gamma function. C. The Gaussian distribution. D. The fractional Laplacian in arbitrary dimensions. E. Fractional derivatives. F. Aitken extrapolation of an in nite sum."~Daniel Belita, Mathematical Reviews, 2017
