Book Description

1584886722 978-1584886723 November 2, 2007
With a focus on 1D and 2D problems, the first volume of Computing with hp-ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS prepared readers for the concepts and logic governing 3D code and implementation. Taking the next step in hp technology, Volume II Frontiers: Three-Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems with Applications presents the theoretical foundations of the 3D hp algorithm and provides numerical results using the 3Dhp code developed by the authors and their colleagues.

The first part of the book focuses on fundamentals of the 3D theory of hp methods as well as issues that arise when the code is implemented. After a review of boundary-value problems, the book examines exact hp sequences, projection-based interpolation, and De Rham diagrams. It also presents the 3D version of the automatic hp-adaptivity package, a two-grid solver for highly anisotropic hp meshes and goal-oriented Krylov iterations, and a parallel implementation of the 3D code.

The second part explores several recent projects in which the 3Dhp code was used and illustrates how these applications have greatly driven the development of 3D hp technology. It encompasses acoustic and electromagnetic (EM) scattering problems, an analysis of complex structures with thin-walled components, and challenging simulations of logging tools. The book concludes with a look at the future of hp methods.

Spearheaded by a key developer of this technology with more than 20 years of research in the field, this self-contained, comprehensive resource will help readers overcome the difficulties in coding hp-adaptive elements.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lengthy book with many mistakes, November 15, 2008
This review is from: Computing with Hp-Adaptive Finite Elements, Vol. 2: Frontiers: Three Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems with Applications (Hardcover)
Computing with Hp-Adaptive Finite Elements, Vol. 1: One and Two Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems The book is very theoretical as opposed to its title, according to which one would expect how to learn to compute with hp-FEM. Lots of mistakes throughout the book make the reading very difficult. For example, I tried to learn about the screen problem for the Maxwell's equations presented in paragraph 19.4.1. After many hours spent with debugging my code I discovered that the formula for the exact solution was completely wrong! This is just one example of many. The book looks like it was written in haste. Instead of learning how to compute with hp-FEM, one finds there a lot of highly mathematical theory completed with a few sections about how to compute with the author's own code. After going through most of the practical parts of the book, I feel that I did not find what I needed.

1.0 out of 5 stars The codes discussed in the second volume are not publicly available, August 9, 2009
This review is from: Computing with Hp-Adaptive Finite Elements, Vol. 2: Frontiers: Three Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems with Applications (Hardcover)
I bought the second volume hoping I would learn something about the 3D code discussed in the book. But then I discovered that neither the serial nor the parallel version of the 3D code discussed in the book are available to the public. The only code related to the second volume that I could find on the internet is an older version of the serial code which was last updated in 2001. I then sent an e-mail to one of the author's (M. Paszynski) who told me with a straight face that the codes discussed in Volume 2 are used by the authors for research purposes and are not available to the public. I find it quite disappointing that this information is not given in the editorial review section of this book.

What is the point of writing a book about the 3D code when the code is not available?
