Presents a detailed discussion of both classical and recent results on the popular Cahn-Hilliard equation and some of its variants. The focus is on mathematical analysis of Cahn-Hilliard models, with an emphasis on thermodynamically relevant logarithmic nonlinear terms, for which several questions are still open.

Studies of complexity, singularity, and anomaly using nonlocal continuum models are steadily gaining popularity. This monograph provides an introduction to basic analytical, computational, and modelling issues and to some of the latest developments in these areas.

Presents the fundamentals of finite element exterior calculus, including the geometrical and functional analysis preliminaries, quickly and in one place. The book is also for mathematicians from areas other than numerical analysis who are interested in understanding how techniques from geometry and topology play a role in numerical PDEs.

Uses modern mathematical tools - algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and representation theory, among others - to analyse two-dimensional wave patterns. The author's goal is to explain some details of the classification problem of the soliton solutions of the KP equation (or KP solitons) and their applications to shallow water waves.

Explores new ways to handle dynamics and evolutionary game theory, to identify subtleties of decision and voting methods, to recognise unexpected modelling concerns, and to introduce new approaches with which to examine game theory. Applications range from avoiding undesired consequences when designing policy to identifying unanticipated voting.
