The theory of integral equations has been an active research field for many years and is based on analysis, function theory, and functional analysis. On the other hand, integral equations are of practical interest because of the boundary integral equation method, which transforms partial differential equations on a domain into integral equations over its boundary. This book grew out of a series of lectures given by the author at the Ruhr-Universitat Bochum and the Christian-Albrecht-Universitat zu Kiel to students of mathematics. The contents of the first six chapters correspond to an...

Die Integralgleichungen stellen ein Gebiet dar. das fur sich durchaus selbstandig ist und auf einer interessanten Mischung von Analysis. Funktionentheorie und Funktionalanalysis beruht. Auf der anderen Seite gewinnen die Integralgleichungen ihr praktisches Interesse aus der -Integralgleichungsmethode-. die es erlaubt, partielle Differential gleichungen in Integralgleichungen umzuformen. Das Buch ist aus Vorlesungen hervorgegangen, die der Autor an der Ruhr-Universitat Bochum und der Christian-Albrechts-Universitat Kiel gehalten hat. Der Umfang der Kapitel 1 bis 6 entspricht etwa einer...

The GAMM Committee for "Efficient Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations" organizes workshops on subjects concerning the algorithmical treat ment of partial differential equations. The topics are discretization methods like the finite element and finite volume method for various types of applications in structural and fluid mechanics. Particular attention is devoted to advanced solu tion techniques. th The series of such workshops was continued in 1993, January 22-24, with the 9 Kiel-Seminar on the special topic "Adaptive Methods Algorithms, Theory and Applications" at the...
