Adaptive Multilevel Solution of Nonlinear Parabolic PDE Systems Theory, Algorithm, and Applications

This book deals with the adaptive numerical solution of parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) arising in many branches of applications. It illustrates the interlocking of numerical analysis, the design of an algorithm and the solution of practical problems. In particular, a combination of...
