Solving Ordinary and Partial Boundary Value Problems in Science and Engineering

• Ordinary Differential Partial Equations with Boundary Conditions - Eigenvalue Problems. Partial Differential Equations - Classical Approach. Variational Methods of Solutions of Elliptic Boundary Value Problems - Generalized Solutions and Their Approximations - Weak Solutions. The Finite-Difference Method for Partial Differential Equations - The Method of Discretization in Time (the Rothe Method). The Fourier Method.

"Numerous technical and physical examples explained in a very clear manner help to understand better theoretical material and motivate further exploration of the subject. Accumulating many years of the author's teaching experience at the Technical University of Prague, this excellent book will be of benefit for engineers, scientists, and mathematicians dealing with boundary value problems, as well as students of science and engineering."-Yuri V. Rogovchenko (Famagusta), Zentralblatt Math, Vol. 1078, April 2006"A very nice text...addressed to the non-mathematician."- Ivo Babuska, Professor of Engineering and Mathematics, University of Texas"This book is unusual in that it sits at the intersection of differential equations and numerical analysis, and in this regard it represents a modern approach to the subject. A good discussion…"-CHOICE, May 1999
