Title: A Celebration of Mathematical Modeling ([EBook] :) : The Joseph B. Keller Anniversary Volume // edited by Dan Givoli, Marcus J. Grote, George C. Papanicolaou. Dewey Class: 003.3 Added Personal Name: Givoli, Dan. editor. Grote, Marcus J. editor. Papanicolaou, George C. editor. Publication: Dordrecht : : Springer Netherlands : : Imprint: Springer,, 2004. Other name(s): SpringerLink (Online service) Physical Details: XXXIX, 241 p. : online resource. ISBN: 9789401704274 System details note: Online access to this digital book is restricted to subscription institutions through IP address (only for SISSA internal users) Summary Note: ThisvolumecelebratestheeightiethbirthdayofJosephB. Keller. The authors who contributed to this volume belong to what can be called the “Keller school of applied mathematics. ” They are former students, postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists who have collaborated with Joe (some of them still do) during his long career. They all look at Joe as their ultimate (role) model. JoeKeller’sdistinguishedcareerhasbeendividedbetweentheCourant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, where he received all his degrees (his PhD adviser being the great R. Courant himself) and served as a professor for 30 years, and Stanford University, where he has been since 1978. The appended photos highlight some scenes from the old days. Those who know Joe Keller’s work have been always amazed by its diversity and breadth. It is considered a well-known truth that there is not a single important area in applied mathematics or physics which Keller did not contribute to. This can be appreciated, for example, by glancing through his list of publication included in this volume. App- priately, the papers in this book, written with Joe’s inspiration, cover a variety of application areas; together they span the broad subject of mathematical modeling. The models discussed in the book describe the behavior of various systems such as those related to ?nance, waves, - croorganisms, shocks, DNA, ?ames, contact, optics, ?uids, bubbles and jets. Joe’s activity includes many more areas, which unfortunately are not represented here.: Contents note: Monte Carlo Simulation for American Options -- Some Problems in Electromagnetics -- Pattern Formation in a Suspension of Swimming Microorganisms: Nonlinear Aspects -- Non-Reflecting Boundaries: High-Order Treatment -- Nonreflecting Boundary Conditions for Time Dependent Waves -- Weak Shock Reflection -- Bifurcation Theory, Symmetry Breaking and Homogenization in Continuum Mechanics Descriptions of DNA -- On Flames as Discontinuity Surfaces in Gasdynamic Flows -- Contact Lines -- Eikonal Functions: Old and New -- Physical Insight, Mathematical Modeling and Asymptotics -- Waves, Bubbles and Jets. ------------------------------ *** There are no holdings for this record *** -----------------------------------------------
