Lecture Notes on the Discretization of the Boltzmann Equation (Series on Advances in Mathematics for Applied Sciences)

This work presents contributions on the following topics: discretization methods in the velocity and space, analysis of the conservation properties, asymptotic convergence to the continuous equation when the number of velocities tends to infinity, and application of discrete models. It consists of ten chapters, each written by an applied mathematician who has been active in the field, and whose scientific contributions are well recognized by the scientific community.
