About this title

Synopsis

Offers a timely, in-depth perspective of numerical techniques used in solving large matrix eigenvalue problems arising in diverse engineering and scientific applications. Although important material for symmetric problems is covered, the focus is placed on more difficult nonsymmetric issues. Features solid theoretical treatment-- all of the latest plus well-known methods--and lists of some key computer programs.

Book Description

This revised edition discusses numerical methods for computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large sparse matrices. For researchers in applied mathematics and scientific computing, and can also be used as a supplementary text for an advanced graduate course on these methods.
