Resumen de Recent Developments in Numerical Methods for Fully Nonlinear Second Order Partial Differential Equations

Xiaobing Feng, Roland Glowinski , Michael Neilan

• This article surveys the recent developments in computational methods for second order fully nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), a relatively new subarea within numerical PDEs. Due to their ever increasing importance in mathematics itself (e.g., differential geometry and PDEs) and in many scientific and engineering fields (e.g., astrophysics, geostrophic fluid dynamics, grid generation, image processing, optimal transport, meteorology, mathematical finance, and optimal control), numerical solutions to fully nonlinear second order PDEs have garnered a great deal of interest from the numerical PDE and scientific communities. Significant progress has been made for this class of problems in the past few years, but many problems still remain open. This article intends to introduce these current advancements and new results to the SIAM community and generate more interest in numerical methods for fully nonlinear PDEs
