Evolution Inclusions and Variation Inequalities for Earth Data Processing III
Long-Time Behavior of Evolution Inclusions Solutions in Earth Data Analysis
Language: English
Release Date: May 22, 2012
In this sequel to two earlier volumes, the authors now focus on the long-time behavior of evolution inclusions, based on the theory of extremal solutions to differential-operator problems. This approach is used to solve problems in climate research, geophysics, aerohydrodynamics, chemical kinetics...
Evolution Inclusions and Variation Inequalities for Earth Data Processing II
Differential-Operator Inclusions and Evolution Variation Inequalities for Earth Data Processing
Language: English
Release Date: October 1, 2010
Here, the authors present modern mathematical methods to solve problems of differential-operator inclusions and evolution variation inequalities which may occur in fields such as geophysics, aerohydrodynamics, or fluid dynamics.

Mathematics of Planet Earth
Proceedings of the 15th Annual Conference of the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences
Language: English
Release Date: October 7, 2013
It is widely recognized that the degree of development of a science is given by the transition from a mainly descriptive stage to a more quantitative stage. In this transition, qualitative interpretations (conceptual models) are complemented with quantification (numerical models, both, deterministic...
