Although intense research activity during the last decades has led to substantial advances in the development of powerful computational methods for conservation laws, their solution remains a challenge and many questions are left open; thus it is an active and fruitful area of research. Numerical Methods for Conservation Laws: From Analysis to Algorithms by Jan Hesthaven offers the first comprehensive introduction to modern computational methods and their analysis for hyperbolic conservation laws, building on intense research activities for more than four decades of development; discusses classic results on monotone and finite difference/finite volume schemes, but emphasizes the successful development of high-order accurate methods for hyperbolic conservation laws; addresses modern concepts of TVD and entropy stability, strongly stable Runge-Kutta schemes, and limiter-based methods before discussing essentially nonoscillatory schemes, discontinuous Galerkin methods, and spectral methods; explores algorithmic aspects of these methods, emphasizing one- and two- dimensional problems and the development and analysis of an extensive range of methods; includes MATLAB software with which all main methods and computational results in the book can be reproduced; and demonstrates the performance of many methods on a set of benchmark problems to allow direct comparisons. Code and other supplemental material are available online at www.siam.org/books/cs18.

The authors use abstract notions and arguments to give the complete proof of the Jordan canonical form and, more generally, the rational canonical form of square matrices over fields. They also provide the notion of tensor products of vector spaces and linear transformations. Matrices are treated in depth, with coverage of the stability of matrix iterations, the eigenvalue properties of linear transformations in inner product spaces, singular value decomposition, and min-max characterizations of Hermitian matrices and nonnegative irreducible matrices. The authors show the many topics and tools encompassed by modern linear algebra to emphasize its relationship to other areas of mathematics.

Saari / 2018 / xviii + 169 pages / Softcover / ISBN 978-1-611975-17-8 List Price $59.00 / SIAM Member Price $41.30 / Order Code CB91 The mathematical challenges coming from the social and behavioral sciences differ significantly from typical applied mathematical concerns. "Change," for instance, is ubiquitous, but without knowing the fundamental driving force, standard differential and iterative methods are not appropriate. Although differing forms of aggregation are widely used, a general mathematical assessment of potential pitfalls is missing. These realities provide opportunities to create new mathematical approaches. These themes are described in an introductory, expository, and accessible manner by exploring new ways to handle dynamics and evolutionary game theory, to identify subtleties of decision and voting methods, to recognize unexpected modeling concerns, and to introduce new approaches with which to examine game theory. Applications range from avoiding undesired consequences when designing policy to identifying unanticipated voting (where the "wrong" person could win), nonparametric statistical, and economic "supply and demand" properties.

The successful applicant will work in the project "Energy efficiency via intelligent district heating networks" in cooperation with the academic partners University Trier, TU Berlin, and Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics as well as the with the industrial partner Technische Werke Ludwigshafen am Rhein AG. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The focus of the project will be the development of models and optimization techniques for coupled district heating networks. The main idea is to develop algorithms for (discrete-)continuous optimization that control the overall accuracy of the optimization model by exploiting tailored error estimates. The successful applicant will thus work at the interesting interface between optimization and numerics. The developed algorithms will be analyzed theoretically and need to be implemented in a programming language like C++ or Python. We seek excellent open-minded and team-spirited PhD candidates that should have completed their studies at master level in a program with strong mathematical background in optimization.
