Finite Element Methods for Integrodifferential Equations (Series on Applied Mathematics)

Recently, there has appeared a new type of evaluating partial differential equations with Volterra integral operators in various practical areas. Such equations possess new physical and mathematical properties. This monograph systematically discusses application of the finite element methods to numerical solution of integrodifferential equations. It will be useful for numerical analysts, mathematicians, physicists and engineers. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students should also find it beneficial.
