Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alexandre Ern is Senior Researcher at Ecole des Ponts and INRIA in Paris, and he is also Associate Professor of Numerical Analysis at Ecole Polytechnique, Paris. His research deals with the devising and analysis of finite element methods and a posteriori error estimates and adaptivity with applications to fluid and solid mechanics and porous media flows. Alexandre Ern has co-authored three books and over 150 papers in peerreviewed journals. He has supervised about 20 PhD students and 10 postdoctoral fellows, and he has ongoing collaborations with several industrial partners.

Jean-Luc Guermond is Professor of Mathematics at Texas A&M University where he also holds an Exxon Mobile Chair in Computational Science. His current research interests are in numerical analysis, applied mathematics, and scientific computing. He has co-authored two books and over 170 research papers in peer-reviewed journals.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book presents the mathematical theory of finite elements, starting from basic results on approximation theory and finite element interpolation and building up to more recent research topics, such as and Discontinuous Galerkin, subgrid viscosity stabilization, and a posteriori error estimation.

The body of the text is organized into three parts plus two appendices collecting the functional analysis  results used in the book. The first part develops the theoretical basis for the finite element method and emphasizes the fundamental role of inf-sup conditions. The second party addresses various applications encompassing elliptic PDE's, mixed formulations, first-order PDEs, and the time-dependent versions of these problems. The third part covers implementation issues and should provide readers with  most of  the practical details needed to write or understand a finite element code.

Written at the graduate level, the text contains numerous examples and exercises and is intended to serve as a graduate textbook. Depending on one's interests, several reading paths can be followed, emphasizing either theoretical results, numerical algorithms, code efficiency, or applications in the engineering sciences.

The book will be useful to researchers and graduate students in mathematics, computer science and engineering.
