Overview
- Focus on modeling complex systems, emphasizing both mathematical properties and their physical meaning
- Written by leading specialists in their respective fields
- Presentation covers not only modeling aspects and qualitative analysis of mathematical problems, but also inverse and computational problems, which lead to detailed model assessment and analysis of real-world systems
- For a broad audience of graduate students, researchers, and professionals working in pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering
- May be used in a course or seminar on selected topics in transport phenomena or applications of the Boltzmann equation to many-particle transport
Part of the book series: Modeling and Simulation in Science, Engineering and Technology (MSSET)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this collection of articles by experts in the field the reader is given a rather comprehensive overview of many of the mathematical aspects and applications of the Boltzmann equation … . intended for scientists and engineers in the applied sciences, my own feeling is that investigators whose acquaintance with mathematics is at an advanced level are likely to be the main beneficiaries of this book. The presentation of the material is excellent, very well organized, and highly recommended to this audience." (L.S. García-Colín, Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 132, 2008)
