Large Time Asymptotics for Solutions of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations By: P.L. Sachdev; Ch. Srinivasa Rao Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9780387878089, 0387878084 eText ISBN: 9780387878096, 0387878092 Copyright year: 2010 Format: PDF Available from $ 139.00 USD SKU: 9780387878096 A large number of physical phenomena are modeled by nonlinear partial differential equations, subject to appropriate initial/ boundary conditions; these equations, in general, do not admit exact solution. The present monograph gives constructive mathematical techniques which bring out large time behavior of solutions of these model equations. These approaches, in conjunction with modern computational methods, help solve physical problems in a satisfactory manner. The asymptotic methods dealt with here include self-similarity, balancing argument, and matched asymptotic expansions. The physical models discussed in some detail here relate to porous media equation, heat equation with absorption, generalized Fisher's equation, Burgers equation and its generalizations. A chapter each is devoted to nonlinear diffusion and fluid mechanics. The present book will be found useful by applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers and biologists, and would considerably help understand diverse natural phenomena.
