Lectures on mathematical combustion : given during a CBMS-NSF Regional Conference held at Colorado State University in june 1982

An introduction to far-reaching developments in theoretical combustion, with special emphasis on flame stability, a topic that has, to date, benefited most from the application of modern asymptotic methods. The authors provide a modern view of flame theory, and a complete description of the longstanding ignition and explosion problems, including the solutions that were made available independently by Kapila and Kassoy through activation-energy asymptotics, the main theme of this monograph. Pre-asymptotic Combustion Revisited -- Governing Equations, Asymptotics, And Deflagrations -- General Deflagrations -- Svfs And Nefs -- Stability Of The Plane Deflagration Wave -- Cellular Flames -- Pulsating Flames -- Counterflow Diffusion Flames -- Spherical Diffusion Flames -- Free-boundary Problems.
