Many important problems in engineering and science are modeled by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). A new trend in PDEs, called structure-preserving numerical methods, has recently developed. This book introduces key factors and basic ideas of discrete variational derivative method.

Until the authors¿ recent research, the practical implementation of the mathematical theory of chaos on finite machines raised several issues. This self-contained book shows how to make finite machines, such as computers, neural networks, and wireless sensor networks, work chaotically as defined in a rigorous mathematical framework. Taking into account that these machines must interact in the real world, the authors share their research results on the behaviors of discrete dynamical systems and their use in computer science.

Greenwich has been a centre for scientific computing since the foundation of the Royal Observatory in 1675. This book presents an account of the mathematicians who worked at Greenwich and their achievements.

Reflecting the author's advances with Sinc since 1995, this handbook contains roughly 450 MATLAB (R) programs for approximating almost every type of operation stemming from calculus. It also presents new and powerful methods for solving ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, and integral equations. The book makes Sinc meth

Emphasizing the connection between mathematical objects and their practical C++ implementation, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to both the theory behind the objects and the C and C++ programming. Object-oriented implementation of three-dimensional meshes facilitates understanding of their mathematical nature. Requiring no prerequisites, the text covers discrete mathematics, data structures, and computational physics, including high-order discretization of nonlinear equations. Exercises and solutions make the book suitable for classroom use and a supporting website supplies downloadable code.

This book provides efficient and reliable numerical methods for solving fractional calculus problems. It focuses on numerical techniques for fractional integrals, derivatives, and differential equations.
