This volume deals with the numerical simulation of the behavior of continuous media by augmented Lagrangian and operator-splitting methods.

In this book, the authors describe the first unified theory of polynomial-time interior-point methods.

A crucial stability condition in linear viscoelasticity is that the Fourier cosine transform of the stress relaxation modulus be positive definite. The subject of this book is the derivation of this condition from thermodynamics and its implications for the mathematical analysis of the equations of linear viscoelasticity.

This is one of the first texts in which electro-diffusion of ions in its different aspects is considered as a unified subject. It treats a selection of topics in electro-diffusion of ions in an aqueous medium - a nonlinear transport process whose essence is diffusion of ions combined with their migration in a selfconsistent electric field.

In this comprehensive treatment, two of the field's leading researchers present a systematic approach to contact problems.
