We define higher-order analogues to the piecewise linear surface finite element method studied in [G. Dziuk, "Finite elements for the Beltrami operator on arbitrary surfaces," in Partial Differential ...

Particle analysis is a crucial step in the quality control of bulk materials and is performed in laboratories worldwide. The methods used have usually been established for years and are rarely ...

A spatial and mechanistic model is developed for the dynamics of transition oak-northern hardwoods forests in northeastern North America. The purpose of the model is to extrapolate from measurable ...
