Book Synopsis Splines and Variational Methods by : P. M. Prenter

Download or read book Splines and Variational Methods written by P. M. Prenter and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the clearest available introductions to variational methods, this text requires only a minimal background in calculus and linear algebra. Its self-contained treatment explains the application of theoretic notions to the kinds of physical problems that engineers regularly encounter. The text’s first half concerns approximation theoretic notions, exploring the theory and computation of one- and two-dimensional polynomial and other spline functions. Later chapters examine variational methods in the solution of operator equations, focusing on boundary value problems in one and two dimensions. Additional topics include least squares and other Galerkin methods. Many helpful definitions, examples, and exercises appear throughout the book. A classic reference in spline theory, this volume will benefit experts as well as students of engineering and mathematics.
