A Panorama of Mathematics: Pure and Applied

Contemporary Mathematics, Volume: 658
2016; 279 pp; Softcover
MSC: Primary 03; 15; 35; 49; 65; 83;
Print ISBN: 978-1-4704-1668-3

This volume contains the proceedings of the Conference on Mathematics and its Applications 2014, held from November 14-17, 2014, at Kuwait University, Safat, Kuwait.

Papers contained in this volume cover various topics in pure and applied mathematics ranging from an introductory study of quotients and homomorphisms of C-systems, also known as contextual pre-categories, to the most important consequences of the so-called Fokas method.

Also covered are multidisciplinary topics such as new structural and spectral matricial results, acousto-electromagnetic tomography method, a recent hybrid imaging technique, some numerical aspects of sonic-boom minimization, PDE eigenvalue problems, von Neumann entropy in graph theory, the relative entropy method for hyperbolic systems, conductances on grids, inverse problems in magnetohydrodynamics, location and size estimation of small rigid bodies using elastic far-fields, and the space-time fractional Schrodinger equation, just to cite a few.

Nonlinear Elliptic Equations of the Second Order

Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Volume: 171
2016; 368 pp; Hardcover
MSC: Primary 35;
ISBN: 978-1-4704-2607-1

Nonlinear elliptic differential equations are a diverse subject with important applications to the physical and social sciences and engineering. They also arise naturally in geometry. In particular, much of the progress in the area in the twentieth century was driven by geometric applications, from the Bernstein problem to the existence of Kahler?Einstein metrics.

This book, designed as a textbook, provides a detailed discussion of the Dirichlet problems for quasilinear and fully nonlinear elliptic differential equations of the second order with an emphasis on mean curvature equations and on Monge?Ampere equations. It gives a user-friendly introduction to the theory of nonlinear elliptic equations with special attention given to basic results and the most important techniques. Rather than presenting the topics in their full generality, the book aims at providing self-contained, clear, and gelementaryh proofs for results in important special cases. This book will serve as a valuable resource for graduate students or anyone interested in this subject.

The mathematical analysis of partial differential equations modelling materials, or tissues, presenting multiple scales has been a very active area of research. The study of the corresponding imaging or reconstruction problem is a more recent area. If the material parameters of the partial differential equation present high contrast ratio, then the solution to the PDE becomes particularly challenging to analyze and compute. On the other hand, imaging in highly heterogeneous media poses significant challenges to the mathematical community.

The focus of this volume is on recent progress towards complete understanding of the direct problem with high contrast or high frequencies, and unified approaches to the inverse and imaging problems for both small and large contrast or frequencies. Of particular importance in imaging are shape representation techniques and regularization approaches. Special attention is devoted to new models and problems coming from physics leading to innovative imaging and signal processing methods.
