Description
This book contains an expanded and smoothed version of lecture notes delivered by the authors at the Advanced School on Numerical Solutions of Partial Di?- ential Equations: New Trends and Applications, which took place at the Centre de Recerca Matem' atica (CRM) in Bellaterra (Barcelona) from November 15th to 22nd, 2007. The book has three parts. The ?rst part, by Silvia Bertoluzza and Silvia Falletta, is devoted to the use of wavelets to derive some new approaches in the numerical solution of PDEs, showing in particular how the possibility of wr- ing equivalent norms for the scale of Besov spaces allows to write down some new methods.Thesecondpart,byGiovanniRusso,providesanoverviewofthemodern finite-volume and finite-difference shock-capturing schemes for systems of cons- vationandbalancelaws,with emphasisingiving auni?ed viewofsuchschemesby identifying the essential aspects of their construction. In the last part Chi-Wang Shugivesageneralintroductionto thediscontinuousGalerkinmethods forsolving some classes of PDEs, discussing cell entropy inequalities, nonlinear stability and error estimates.
The school that originated these notes was born with the objective of p- viding an opportunity for PhD students, recent PhD doctorates and researchers in general in ?elds of applied mathematics and engineering to catch up with - portant developments in the ?elds and/or to get in touch with state-of-the-art numerical techniques that are not covered in usual courses at graduate level.

From the reviews:
"It includes an extended version of the lectures given by the four authors at the Advanced School on Numerical Solutions of Partial Differential Equations: New Trends and Applications, held at the CRM - Barcelona between November 15 - 22, 2007. . The book is addressed to masterands, for PhD candidates and to research workers in the fields of applied mathematics and engineering." (Constantin I. Popovici, IASI Polytechnic Magazine, Vol. 22 (1/4), March-December, 2010)
"The book is well written and organized at a difficulty level that precisely meets the target audiences' needs. . PhD students as well as engineers and researchers in the field of applied mathematics or scientific computing and interested graduate students will find this book an excellent resource to rapid introduction into the field of modern numerical methods . . serve as a textbook for graduate - level courses in numerical methods . . be useful for experienced researchers and practitioners both from academia or industry." (Andrzej Myslinski, Control and Cybernetics, Vol. 39 (3), 2010)More details
