A finite EI category is a small category with finitely many morphisms such that every endomorphism is an isomorphism. They include finite groups, finite posets and free categories of finite quivers as special cases. In this paper we consider the representation types of finite EI categories, describe some criteria for finite representation type, and use them to classify the representation types of several classes of finite EI categories with extra properties.

The new edition of this book detailing the theory of linear-Hilbert space operators and their use in quantum physics contains two new chapters devoted to properties of quantum waveguides and quantum graphs. The bibliography contains 130 new items.

This paper is devoted to developing the Il'in-Allen-Southwell (IAS) parameter-uniform difference scheme on uniform meshes for solving strongly coupled systems of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations whose solutions may display boundary and/or interior layers, where strong coupling means that the solution components in the system are coupled together mainly through their first derivatives. By decomposing the coefficient matrix of convection term into the Jordan canonical form, we first construct the IAS scheme for 1-D systems and then extend the scheme to 2-D systems by employing an alternating direction technique. The robustness of the developed IAS scheme is illustrated through a series of numerical examples, including the magnetohydrodynamic duct flow problem with a high Hartmann number. Numerical evidence indicates that the IAS scheme is formally second order accurate in the sense that it is second order convergent when the perturbation parameter $\varepsilon$ is not too small and when the $\varepsilon$ is sufficiently small, the scheme is first order convergent in the discrete maximum norm uniformly in $\varepsilon$.
