Review text

This book deals with theoretical and computational issues of the mimetic finite difference method for a large classes of multidimensional elliptic problems. They include but are not limited to diffusion, advection-diffusion, Stokes, elasticity, magnetostatics, plate bending problems. The monograph is structured into three parts, each containing four chapters. Part one is entitled `Foundation' and contains the historical development of the method, the motivation as well as unique features of the method. Part two is entitled `Mimetic discretization of basic partial differential equations'. It describes the implementation of the method to steady-state diffusion equations, Maxwell's equations and steady Stokes equations. Part three is entitled `Further developments' and emphasizes the application of the mimetic finite difference method in addressing challenging problems from structural mechanics, convection-diffusion problems or obstacle problems. The research monograph is a useful source for scientists and engineers interested in computational treatment for various mathematical models arising in real life. It also proves to be a valuable research monograph for graduate students in Applied Mathematics or Computational Physics.
