Moving Finite Elements

Bringing together a decade''s worth of research stimulated by Miller''s original idea of moving finite elements this important book discusses the interrelationship between the techniques and the theories regarding the method of characteristics Hamilton''s equations the Legendre transformation and grid equidistribution. Throughout the important issues are cogently highlighted cutting-edge research developments are detailed and areas for future research are discussed. Students teachers and researchers in applied mathematics numerical analysis engineering and the computational sciences will want to read this book.
