AN INVITATION TO NONLOCAL MODELING, ANALYSIS AND COMPUTATION

This lecture serves as an invitation to further studies on nonlocal models, their mathematics, computation, and applications. We sample our recent attempts in the development of a systematic mathematical framework for nonlocal models, including basic elements of nonlocal vector calculus, well-posedness of nonlocal variational problems, coupling to local models, convergence and compatibility of numerical approximations, and applications to nonlocal mechanics and diffusion. We also draw connections with traditional models and other relevant mathematical subjects.
