9780198534631: Advances in Numerical Analysis

Synopsis

This volume introduces advanced students and professionals to cutting-edge research in numerical analysis. Featuring a collection of contributors renowned for their expertise in the subject, the book focuses in particular on the use of parallel computers, both for solving large sets of linear equations and for calculating the eigensystems of large matrices. Issues related to the solution of such equations--such as the preconditioning of elliptic problems, the study of semi-conductors, methods for the solution of hydrodynamic problems--are discussed in detail. Written at a level both accessible to graduate students and stimulating for established researchers, this book will be welcomed by a wide range of people studying numerical analysis.
