Rheology and deformation of the lithosphere at continental margins

Traditionally, investigations of the rheology and deformation of the litho-sphere (the rigid or mechanically strong outer layer of the Earth, which contains the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle) have taken place at one scale in the laboratory an...

 Approximation of Large-Scale Dynamical Systems

Mathematical models are used to simulate, and sometimes control, the behavior of physical and artificial processes such as the weather and very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits. The increasing need for accuracy has led to the development of highly ...
