Product Description

Constructive methods developed in the framework of analytic functions effectively extend the use of mathematical constructions, both within mathematics and to other disciplines. This monograph presents some constructive methods, based primarily on original techniques, for linear and nonlinear boundary value problems. From among the their many applications, the authors focus on problems associated with composite materials with a finite number of inclusions. This volume will interest a broad audience, including specialists in analytic function theory, applied mathematicians, and non-mathematicians who can apply these methods in their research in mechanics and physics.

Review
"The book contains several fresh results and collects material which has been spread in the literature (frequently in Russian, but also from the western schools). With an extensive bibliography of about 300 items, it can serve as a reference text. The presentation is addressed to beginners and experts as well. Since the essential prerequisites are included it should be convenient to use for interested applied scientists with some mathematical background." -Elias Wegert, in Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2001d Promo Copy

From the Back Cover
Constructive methods developed in the framework of analytic functions effectively extend the use of mathematical constructions, both within different branches of mathematics and to other disciplines. This monograph presents some constructive methods-based primarily on original techniques-for boundary value problems, both linear and nonlinear. From among the many applications to which these methods can apply, the authors focus on interesting problems associated with composite materials with a finite number of inclusions.

How far can one go in the solutions of problems in nonlinear mechanics and physics using the ideas of analytic functions? What is the difference between linear and nonlinear cases from the qualitative point of view? What kinds of additional techniques should one use in investigating nonlinear problems? Constructive Methods for Linear and Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems serves to answer these questions, and presents many results to Westerners for the first time. Among the most interesting of these is the complete solution of the Riemann-Hilbert problem for multiply connected domains.

The results offered in Constructive Methods for Linear and Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems are prepared for direct application. A historical survey along with background material, and an in-depth presentation of practical methods make this a self-contained volume useful to experts in analytic function theory, to non-specialists, and even to non-mathematicians who can apply the methods to their research in mechanics and physics.
