Advances in Applied Mathematics

This volume contains contributions from the Gulf International Conference in Applied Mathematics, held at the Gulf University for Science & Technology. The proceedings reflects the three major themes of the conference. The first of these was mathematical biology, including a keynote address by Professor Philip Maini. The second theme was computational science/numerical analysis, including a keynote address by Professor Grigorii Shishkin. The conference also addressed more general applications topics, with papers in business applications, fluid mechanics, optimization, scheduling problems and engineering applications, as well as a keynote by Professor Ali Nayfeh.

Includes papers in the areas of mathematical biology, computational science and applications Features work by leaders in broad field of applied mathematics Content will be of interest to researchers in a wide variety of applied fields, including Operations Research and Fluid Mechanics
