With a focus on 1D and 2D problems, the first volume of Computing with hp-ADAPTIVE FINITE ELEMENTS prepared readers for the concepts and logic governing 3D code and implementation. Taking the next step in hp technology, Volume II Frontiers: Three-Dimensional Elliptic and Maxwell Problems with Applications presents the theoretical foundations of the 3D hp algorithm and provides numerical results...

"Together with the first volume, the second volume forms a unique, up-to-date, and self-contained presentation of the current status of hp-adaptive finite elements …This two-volume book is therefore strongly recommended to all mathematicians as well as engineers working on hp-adaptive finite element methods."
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics

"This is an elegant framework for the hp element with generalize classical elements of Nédélec, Raviart-Thomas, and Brezzi-Douglas-Marini . . . The authors provide here such a useful survey within 400 pages." – Dietrich Braess, in Mathematical Reviews, 2009e
