This book deals with discretization techniques for partial differential
equations of elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic type. It provides an
introduction to the main principles of discretization and gives a
presentation of the ideas and analysis of advanced numerical methods in
the area. The book is mainly dedicated to finite element methods, but it
also discusses difference methods and finite volume techniques.
Coverage offers analytical tools, properties of discretization
techniques and hints to algorithmic aspects. It also guides readers to
current developments in research.
