In this comprehensive volume a treatment of grid generation, adaptive refinement, and redistribution techniques is developed together with supporting mathematical, algorithmic, and software concepts. Efficient solution strategies that exploit grid hierarchies are also described and analyzed.

With emphasis on fundamental ideas, the book includes practical guidelines for designing and implementing grid strategies, as well as current material on parallel computing, superconvergence, accuracy pollution, and moving boundaries. Worked-out problems are included, and end-of-the-chapter exercises are provided to reinforce the material.
