The Numerical Method of Lines and Duality Principles Applied to Models in Physics and Engineering

The book includes the theory and applications of generalization of the numerical method of lines. It is meant for applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers who use of numerical methods. The book should serve as a valuable auxiliary tool in an engineering and physics projects.

Fabio Silva Botelho obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Virginia Tech, USA in 2009. Prior to that he got an undergraduate (1992) and master degrees (1996) in Aeronautical Engineering both from the Technological Institute of Aeronautics, ITA, SP, Brazil.

From 2004 to 2015 he worked as an Assistant Professor at the Mathematics Department of Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil. Since April 2015, he has been working as an Adjunct Professor at the Mathematics Department of Federal University of Santa Catarina, in Florianopolis, SC, Brazil.

He is the author of three books - Functional Analysis and Applied Optimization in Banach Spaces (2014), Real Analysis and Applications (2018) published by Springer; and Functional Analysis, Calculus Variations and Numerical Methods for Models in Physics and Engineering (2020), published by CRC Press.
