Meshfree methods, particle methods, and generalized finite element
methods have witnessed substantial development since the mid 1990s.
The growing interest in these methods is due in part to the fact
that they are extremely flexible numerical tools and can be
interpreted in a number of ways. For instance, meshfree methods can
be viewed as a natural extension of classical finite element and
finite difference methods to scattered node configurations with no
fixed connectivity. Furthermore, meshfree methods offer a number of
advantageous features which are especially attractive when dealing
with multiscale phenomena: a priori knowledge about particular
local behavior of the solution can easily be introduced in the
meshfree approximation space, and coarse-scale approximations can
be seamlessly refined with fine-scale information. This volume
collects selected papers presented at the Seventh International
Workshop on Meshfree Methods, held in Bonn, Germany in September
2013. They address various aspects of this highly dynamic research
field and cover topics from applied mathematics, physics and
engineering.

However, the implementation of meshfree methods and their
parallelization also requires special attention, for instance with
respect to numerical integration.
Meshfree methods are a modern alternative to classical mesh-based
discretization techniques such as finite differences or finite
element methods. Especially in a time-dependent setting or in the
treatment of problems with strongly singular solutions their
independence of a mesh makes these methods highly attractive. This
volume collects selected papers presented at the Sixth
International Workshop on Meshfree Methods held in Bonn, Germany in
October 2011. They address various aspects of this very active
research field and cover topics from applied mathematics, physics
and engineering.
This volume collects selected papers presented at the Ninth
International Workshop on Meshfree Methods held in Bonn, Germany in
September 2017. They address various aspects of this very active
research field and cover topics from applied mathematics, physics
and engineering. The numerical treatment of partial differential
equations with meshfree discretization techniques has been a very
active research area in recent years. While the fundamental theory
of meshfree methods has been developed and considerable advances of
the various methods have been made, many challenges in the
mathematical analysis and practical implementation of meshfree
methods remain. This symposium aims to promote collaboration among
engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists and industrial
researchers to address the development, mathematical analysis, and
application of meshfree and particle methods especially to
multiscale phenomena. It continues the 2-year-cycled Workshops on
Meshfree Methods for Partial Differential Equations.
The numerical treatment of partial differential equations with
particle methods and meshfree discretization techniques is an
extremely active research field, both in the mathematics and
engineering communities. Meshfree methods are becoming increasingly
mainstream in various applications. Due to their independence of a
mesh, particle schemes and meshfree methods can deal with large
geometric changes of the domain more easily than classical
discretization techniques. Furthermore, meshfree methods offer a
promising approach for the coupling of particle models to
continuous models. This volume of LNCSE is a collection of the
papers from the proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on
Meshfree Methods, held in Bonn in August 2009. The articles address
the different meshfree methods and their use in applied
mathematics, physics and engineering. The volume is intended to
foster this highly active and exciting area of interdisciplinary
research and to present recent advances and findings in this field.

It was not until after the Norman Conquest that British castles, as
we think of them today, came into being. Before this point, the
only fortifications in England were Iron Age hill forts surrounded
by deep trenches and timber palisades. More so than anything else,
the English castle symbolises the long and tumultuous struggle for
dominance and control in a realm where the threat of invasion or
attack was never far away. From Corfe Castle, where Lady Mary
Bankes defended her home against besieging Parliamentarians, to the
Tower of London, where Sir Walter Raleigh conducted chemical
experiments whilst in prison, to the photogenic castle at Alnwick,
which provided the setting for the wizards' school in the Harry
Potter films, these great strongholds powerfully evoke the rich and
varied history of the English nation. In this beautifully
illustrated book full of little-known facts, Marc Alexander reveals
the turbulent story of English castles such as Windsor and Warwick,
featuring colourful photographs and fascinating anecdotes.

The Fourth International Workshop on Meshfree Methods for Partial
D- ferential Equations was held from September 17 to September 20,
2007 in Bonn, Germany. One of the major goals of this workshop
series is to bring together European, American and Asian
researchers working in this exciting ?eld of interdisciplinary
research on a regular basis. To this end Ivo Babu? ska, Ted
Belytschko, Michael Griebel, Antonio Huerta, Wing Kam Liu, and
Harry Yserentant invited scientist from twelve countries to Bonn to
strengthen the mathematical understanding and analysis of meshfree
discretizations but also to promote the exchange of ideas on their
implementation and application. The workshop was again hosted by
the Institut fur .. Numerische Simu-
tionattheRheinischeFriedrich-Wilhelms-Universit.
atBonnwiththe?nancial support of the Sonderforschungsbereich 611
Singular Phenomena and Scaling in Mathematical Models. This volume
of LNCSE now comprises selected contributions of attendees of the
workshop. Their content ranges from applied mathematics to physics
and engineering. This is also an indication that meshfree methods
for the numerical solution of partial di?erential equations are
becoming more and more mainstream in many areas of applications due
to their ? exiblity and wide applicability.
The castle is an evocative structure, no matter its setting, and
this is no truer than in Scotland, where the multitude of castles
reflect the country's turbulent history: its many conflicts and
skirmishes, whether against invaders from the north, the English to
the south or between clans. Castle building reflected the dual
needs to control a population and protect against rebellion and
invaders. They have been the scenes for some of the most dramatic
deeds in British history throughout war and political confl ict
and, of course, without the strategic and psychological effect of
castles the feudal system would have been impossible. In this
well-researched and beautifully illustrated book, Marc Alexander
explores the story of Scotland's castles, featuring many vivid
tales from history and legend, and showcasing a wide range of its
incredible wealth of castles.
Over the past years meshfree methods for the solution of partial
di?erential equations have signi?cantly matured and are used in
various ?elds of appli- tions. One of the reasons for this
development is the fact that meshfree d-
cretizationsandparticlemodels areoftenbetter suitedto
copewithgeometric changes of the domain of interest than mesh-based
discretization techniques such as ?nite di?erences, ?nite elements
or ?nite volumes. Furthermore, the computational costs associated
with mesh generation are eliminated in me- free approaches, since
they are based only on a set of independent points. From the
modelling point of view, meshfree methods gained much interest in
recent years since they may provide an e?cient and reliable
approach to the coupling of contiuum models to particle models. In
light of these developments the Sonderforschungsbereich 611 and the
Gesellschaft fur Mathematik und Mechanik sponsored the second

Unlike castles and cathedrals, the battlefields situated around the
UK are not easily found and require some background knowledge of
the contender's tactics, the cause of the battle and its effect on
history to be fully appreciated. At first sight, Bosworth is a
piece of rural landscape, yet here a royal house was brought to an
end and the Tudor age began. The object of this guidebook is to
locate and describe the battlefields and to vividly depict the
events of the day and the reasoning behind the fighting. Unlike the
rest of Europe, Britain's battles were mainly inspired by internal
conflict and here the authors demystify the politics behind the
encounters and quarrels to reveal what happened at Britain's battle
sites from the Saxons to the Jacobite Rebellions. An ideal handbook
for the enthusiast or tourist alike, this illustrated guide offers
a passport to history.
Meshfree methods for the numerical solution of partial

address the different meshfree techniques, their mathematical
properties and their application in applied mathematics, physics
and engineering.
Im Buch wird das deutsche Abstammungsrecht hinsichtlich der
modernen Fortpflanzungsmedizin auf den Prufstand gestellt. Da der
deutsche Gesetzgeber hier sehr restriktive Regelungen getroffen
hat, wird von vielen Paaren mit Kinderwunsch haufig der Weg ins
Ausland angetreten. Dies fuhrt dazu, dass in Deutschland vermehrt
Kinder leben, die durch (hier) verbotene Befruchtungsmethoden
gezeugt worden sind. Das deutsche Abstammungsrecht bietet fur diese
Falle jedoch keine interessengerechten Regelungen. Der Autor
ermittelt den diesbezuglichen Reformbedarf und entwickelt
umfassende Vorschlage zur gesetzlichen Neuregelung. Das betrifft
sowohl die statusrelevante Zuordnung des Kindes, die
statusunabhangige Abstammungsfeststellung als auch Auskunftsrechte.
Dieses Buch eignet sich hervorragend zur selbststandigen
Einarbeitung in die Diskrete Mathematik, aber auch als
Begleitlekture zu einer einfuhrenden Vorlesung. Die Diskrete
Mathematik ist ein junges Gebiet der Mathematik, das eine Brucke
schlagt zwischen Grundlagenfragen und konkreten Anwendungen. Zu den
Gebieten der Diskreten Mathematik gehoeren Codierungstheorie,
Kryptographie, Graphentheorie und Netzwerke. Dazu kommen als
attraktive Grundlagen Zahlentheorie und Kombinatorik. Diese
Einfuhrung in die Diskrete Mathematik ist leicht verstandlich und
im gleichen Stil wie die anderen Lehrbucher von Albrecht
Beutelspacher geschrieben. Das Buch enthalt ausfuhrliche Loesungen
zu den uber 200 UEbungsaufgaben. Jedes Kapitel schliesst mit
didaktischen Anmerkungen, in denen sich Vorschlage zum Einsatz im
Mathematikunterricht finden.
