Asymptotics of Elliptic and Parabolic PDEs and their Applications in Statistical Physics, Computational Neuroscience, and Biophysics

This is a monograph on the emerging branch of mathematical biophysics combining asymptotic analysis with numerical and stochastic methods to analyze partial differential equations arising in biological and physical sciences. In more detail, the book presents the analytic methods and tools for approx...
