Description
Book SynopsisThis volume encompasses prototypical, innovative and emerging examples and benchmarks of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs) and their applications, such as electrical networks, chemical reactors, multibody systems, and multiphysics models, to name but a few. Each article begins with an exposition of modelling, explaining whether the model is prototypical and for which applications it is used. This is followed by a mathematical analysis, and if appropriate, a discussion of the numerical aspects including simulation. Additionally, benchmark examples are included throughout the text.
Mathematicians, engineers, and other scientists, working in both academia and industry either on differential-algebraic equations and systems or on problems where the tools and insight provided by differential-algebraic equations could be useful, would find this book resourceful.
Trade Review“The book can be of special interest to mathematicians, STEM students, and engineers working in multidisciplinary industry settings where the insight provided by differential-algebraic equations can be determinant in decision making.” (Andrzej Sokolowski, MAA Reviews, August 11, 2019)
