The book includes theoretical and applied results of a generalization of the numerical method of lines. A Ginzburg-Landau type equation comprises the initial application, with detailed explanations about the establishment of the general line expressions. Approximate numerical procedures have been developed for a variety of equation types, including the related algorithms and software. The applications include the Ginzburg-Landau system in superconductivity, applications to the Navier-Stokes system in fluid mechanics and, among others, models in flight mechanics. In its second and final parts, the book develops duality principles and numerical results for other similar and related models.
The book is meant for applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in numerical methods and concerning duality theory. It is expected the text will serve as a valuable auxiliary project tool for some important engineering and physics fields of research.
