This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Conference on Symbolic and Numerical Scientific Computation, SNSC 2001, held in Hagenberg, Austria, in September 2001.

The 19 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on symbolics and numerics of differential equations, symbolics and numerics in algebra and geometry, and applications in physics and engineering.

The book presents the state of the art and results and also includes articles pointing to future developments. Most of the articles center around the theme of linear partial differential equations. Major aspects are fast solvers in elastoplasticity, symbolic analysis for boundary problems, symbolic treatment of operators, computer algebra, and finite element methods, a symbolic approach to finite difference schemes, cylindrical algebraic decomposition and local Fourier analysis, and white noise analysis for stochastic partial differential equations. Further numerical-symbolic topics range...

Dieses Buch wird es Ihnen ermoglichen, technische Probleme mit Differentialgleichungen zu modellieren und die FEM-Software zu ihrer Computersimulation zu erstellen. Gleichzeitig soll es Ihnen das Verstandnis fur die zugrunde liegenden numerischen Techniken erschliessen.

This volume contains eight state of the art contributions on mathematical aspects and applications of fast boundary element methods in engineering and industry. This covers the analysis and numerics of boundary integral equations by using differential forms, preconditioning of hp boundary element methods, the application of fast boundary element methods for solving challenging problems in magnetostatics, the simulation of micro electro mechanical systems, and for contact problems in solid mechanics. Other contributions are on recent results on boundary element methods for the solution of...

Domain decomposition (DD) methods provide powerful tools for constructing parallel numerical solution algorithms for large scale systems of algebraic equations arising from the discretization of partial differential equations. These methods are well-established and belong to a fast developing area. In this volume, the reader will find a brief historical overview, the basic results of the general theory of domain and space decomposition methods as well as the description and analysis of practical DD algorithms for parallel computing. It is typical to find in this volume that most of the...
