A featured review, of the book "Nonlocal Modeling, Analysis, and Computation" (Author. Qiang Du, ISBN 978-1-611975-61-1), has been published in SIAM Rev., 62(2), 511–513. The review is written by Dr. Christian Vollmann, who wrote his dissertation on numerical methods for nonlocal models. The review is written in a very knowledgeable way, gives a good classification of the book into the currently very intensively researched field of nonlocal problems, and recommends reading the work.
The review says:
"Who Is the Author? Qiang Du is the Fu Foundation Professor of Applied Mathematics at Columbia University and an elected fellow of SIAM, AAAS, and AMS. He obtained his Ph.D. under the supervision of Max Gunzburger, who together with Richard Lehoucq first introduced the framework of a nonlocal vector calculus... Also, Qiang Du supervised Xiaochuan Tian, who wrote an awarded dissertation on nonlocal models. Thus, this book comes straight from the heart of nonlocal research."
"The monograph Nonlocal Modeling, Analysis, and Computation could definitely be a set text for anybody who wants to study nonlocal models. It is the perfect starting point to getting a taste of their intrinsic features and thereby to expanding one’s spectrum of modeling tools in any particular application field... Each chapter is nearly self-contained, which makes this book very accessible. All in all, I highly recommend it."
We strongly recommend interested people read the book review, as well as the excellent monograph on nonlocal models.
