Opis

This volume contains a wealth of results and methodologies applicable to a wide range of problems arising in reaction-diffusion theory. It can be viewed both as a handbook, and as a detailed description of the methodology. The authors present new methods based on matched asymptotic expansions.

Recenzje

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The book contains useful information on the topic, especially precise (and non-standard) asymptotic expansions in different regions collected with the help of the MAE-s into the complete characterization of the solutions to the nonlinear problems in consideration. The book is warmly recommended to specialists in ODE-s, PDE-s, researchers in reaction-diffusion theory, physicists, engineers and to students with basic knowledge on parabolic equations." (Jeno Hegedus, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 72, 2006)
