This volume is a collection of articles discussing the most recent advances on various topics in partial differential equations. Many important issues regarding evolution problems, their asymptotic behavior and their qualitative properties are addressed. The quality and completeness of the articles will make this book a source of inspiration and references in the future. Contents: Steady Free Convection in a Bounded and Saturated Porous Medium (S Akesbi et al.); Quasilinear Parabolic Functional Evolution Equations (H Amann); A Linear Parabolic Problem with Non-Dissipative Dynamical Boundary Conditions (C Bandle & W Reichel); Remarks on Some Class of Nonlocal Elliptic Problems (M Chipot); On Some Definitions and Properties of Generalized Convex Sets Arising in the Calculus of Variations (B Dacorogna et al.); Note on the Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to an Anisotropic Crystalline Curvature Flow (C Hirota et al.); A Reaction-Diffusion Approximation to a Cross-Diffusion System (M Iida et al.); Bifurcation Diagrams to an Elliptic Equation Involving the Critical Sobolev Exponent with the Robin Condition (Y Kabeya); Ginzburg-Landau Functional in a Thin Loop and Local Minimizers (S Kosugi & Y Morita); Singular Limit for Some Reaction Diffusion System (K Nakashima); Rayleigh-B(r)nard Convection in a Rectangular Domain (T Ogawa & T Okuda); Some Convergence Results for Elliptic Problems with Periodic Data (Y Xie); On Global Unbounded Solutions for a Semilinear Parabolic Equation (E Yanagida).

This book presents in a concise and accessible way, as well as in a common setting, various tools and methods arising from spectral theory, ergodic theory and stochastic processes theory, which form the basis of and contribute interactively a great deal to the current research on almost-everywhere convergence problems. Researchers working in dynamical systems and at the crossroads of spectral theory, ergodic theory and stochastic processes will find the tools, methods, and results presented in this book of great interest. It is written in a style accessible to graduate students.
The images produced by means ofcomputers have invaded our daily lives. One has but to see the "identification logos" of most television broadcasts or some advenisement "spots" to be convinced of this. This proves that the synthesis ofimages has reached maturity. The progress that has been made in the last few years allows one to predict the use ofrealistic illustrations in more and more domains ofapplication. It is thus understandable that more and more people seek to understand how these images are produced. Such a person may be an amateur who likes to understand in a general way the processing involved, or he may be a computer scientist who wants to develop some new application using graphics procedures. This book by Michel Bret meets these desires by giving a complete overview of the techniques of image synthesis by computer. The different stages of the creation of a numerical image are explained in detail, and they are accompanied by descriptions of the most modem methods. Thus the geometrical models that are described go from those with plane polygonal facets, via surfaces of all types, to systems of panicles. Visualization is treated in complete detail, and due attention is given to all the various roads that lead to a realistic image: simple projections on the basis of wire-frame models, the elimination of hidden pans, and fmally the modelling oflight and its effects.
This book is dedicated to readers who want to learn fluid dynamics from the beginning. It assumes a basic level of mathematics knowledge that would correspond to that of most second-year undergraduate physics students and examines fluid dynamics from a physicist’s perspective. As such, the examples used primarily come from our environment on Earth and, where possible, from astrophysics. The text is arranged in a progressive and educational format, aimed at leading readers from the simplest basics to more complex matters like turbulence and magnetohydrodynamics. Exercises at the end of each chapter help readers to test their understanding of the subject (solutions are provided at the end of the book), and a special chapter is devoted to introducing selected aspects of mathematics that beginners may not be familiar with, so as to make the book self-contained.
Comprehensive coverage of the background and design requirements for plastic and seismic design of steel structures Thoroughly revised throughout, Ductile Design of Steel Structures, Second Edition, reflects the latest plastic and seismic design provisions and standards from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) and the Canadian Standard Association (CSA). The book covers steel material, cross-section, component, and system response for applications in plastic and seismic design, and provides practical guidance on how to incorporate these principles into structural design. Three new chapters address buckling-restrained braced frame design, steel plate shear wall design, and hysteretic energy dissipating systems and design strategies. Eight other chapters have been extensively revised and expanded, including a chapter presenting the basic seismic design philosophy to determine seismic loads. Self-study problems at the end of each chapter help reinforce the concepts presented. Written by experts in earthquake-resistant design who are active in the development of seismic guidelines, this is an invaluable resource for students and professionals involved in earthquake engineering or other areas related to the analysis and design of steel structures. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Structural steel properties Plastic behavior at the cross-section level Concepts, methods, and applications of plastic analysis Building code seismic design philosophy Design of moment-resisting frames Design of concentrically braced frames Design of eccentrically braced frames Design of steel energy dissipating systems Stability and rotation capacity of steel beams
