"The material published in this volume comes essentially from a course given at the Conference on "Boltzmann equation and fluidodynamic limits", held in Trieste

This book presents contributions on the following topics: discretization methods in the velocity and space, analysis of the conservation properties, asymptotic

This book is based on the idea that Boltzmann-like modelling methods can be developed to design, with special attention to applied sciences, kinetic-type models
