The Second-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology
The Second-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology generalizes the First-Order Theory presented in the author's previous books published by CRC Press. This breakthrough has many applications in sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, optimization, data assimilation, model calibration, and reducing uncertainties in model predictions The book has many illustrative examples that will help readers understand the complexity of the subject and will enable them to apply this methodology to problems in their own fields.
