Approximation of Elliptic Boundary-Value Problems

A marriage of the finite-differences method with variational methods for solving boundary-value problems, the finite-element method is superior in many ways to finite-differences alone. This self-contained text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students is intended to imbed this combination of methods into the framework of functional analysis and to explain its applications to approximation of nonhomogeneous boundary-value problems for elliptic operators.Aubin, Jean-Pierre is the author of 'Approximation of Elliptic Boundary-Value Problems' with ISBN 9780898740776 and ISBN 0898740770.
