Collection of up-to-date reports on state-of-the-art developments in the theory of integral methods

Chapters written by well-known specialists in their fields

Covers a broad range of special topics, including integral equations, homogenization, duality methods, optimal design, and conformal techniques
Useful for an interdisciplinary audience of graduate students, researchers, and industry professionals
This contributed volume contains a collection of articles on the most recent advances in integral methods. The second of two volumes, this work focuses on the applications of integral methods to specific problems in science and engineering. Written by internationally recognized researchers, the chapters in this book are based on talks given at the Fourteenth International Conference on Integral Methods in Science and Engineering, held July 25-29, 2016, in Padova, Italy. A broad range of topics is addressed, such as:? Boundary elements? Transport problems? Option pricing? Gas reservoirs? Electromagnetic scattering
This collection will be of interest to researchers in applied mathematics, physics, and mechanical and petroleum engineering, as well as graduate students in these disciplines, and to other professionals who use integration as an essential tool in their work.
