A propos de cet article

This book offers an introduction to the key ideas, basic analysis, and effi cient implementation of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DG-F EM) for the solution of partial differential equations. It covers all key theoretical results, including an overview of relevant re sults from approximation theory, convergence theory for numerical PDE's, an d orthogonal polynomials. Through embedded Matlab codes, coverage discusses and implements the algorithms for a number of classic systems of PDE's: Ma xwell's equations, Euler equations, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and Poisson- and Helmholtz equations. Editorial Reviews Review From the reviews: "This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of the DG-F EM, from derivation, analysis and implementation of the method to simulatio n of application problems. It is a highly valuable volume in the literature on the DG-FEM. It is also suitable as a textbook for a graduate-level cour se for students in computational and applied mathematics, physics and engin eering." -Mathematical Reviews "The book under review presents basic ideas, theoretical analysis, MATLAB implementation and applications of the DG-FEM. . The representative references quoted are useful for any reader interested in applying the method in a particular area. . This book provides comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of the DG-FEM . . It is a highly valuable volume in the literature on the DG-FEM.

Synopsis :

The text offers an introduction to the key ideas, basic analysis, and efficient implementation of discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DG-FEM) for the solution of partial differential equations. This is the first text on DG-FEM, suitable both as a textbook and for self study. All key theoretical results are either derived or discussed, including an overview of relevant results from approximation theory, convergence theory for numerical PDE’s, orthogonal polynomials etc. Through embedded Matlab codes, the algorithms are discussed and implemented for a number of classic systems of PDE’s. Attention is paid to both basic analysis and algorithmic issues. The three appendices contain an overview of orthogonal polynomials and associated library routines used throughout, a brief introduction to grid generation, and an overview of the associated software (where to get it, list of variables etc). A variety of exercises are included at the end of most chapters.
