Marios Andreas Christou is a Cypriot mathematician who serves as a member of the mathematics faculty at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus. His research lies in numerical analysis and computational mathematics, with an emphasis on spectral and Galerkin methods for nonlinear wave equations and solitons.
Biography
Christou is based in Cyprus, where he is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at the University of Nicosia. He completed his doctoral studies in the United States at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where he collaborated with the applied mathematician C. I. Christov on spectral methods for nonlinear evolution equations.
Work
Christou works in numerical analysis, computational mathematics, and numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations. His research interests include spectral methods for solving partial differential equations, numerical and analytic techniques in electromagnetic wave scattering, and the study of solitons and solitary waves.
A recurring theme of his work is the use of Christov functions as a basis system in spectral and Fourier-Galerkin methods applied to soliton problems. His publications include studies of localized solutions of equations with cubic nonlinearity, interacting localized waves for the regularized long-wave equation via a Galerkin spectral method, solitons of the cubic Boussinesq equation, and numerical investigations of the Klein-Gordon and sine-Gordon equations using the Christov expansion.
