Book Description:
|
This is a self-contained presentation that sets up the foundations of the modern theory of conservation laws and describes the physical models and mathematical methods leading to the Glimm scheme. The author then takes the reader to the current state of knowledge in the subject. With large numbers of exercises and full discussion of all the ideas this will be an ideal text for graduate courses in partial differential equations.
