Acta Numerica 1993 Volume 2 [Paperback]

Acta Numerica is an annual publication containing invited survey papers by leading researchers in a number of areas.Continuing the tradition established with the 1992 volume, this 1993s Acta Numerica presents six invited papers on a broad range of topics from numerical analysis. Papers treat each topic at a level intelligible by any numerical analyst from graduate student to professional.Continuing the tradition established with the 1992 volume, this 1993s Acta Numerica presents six invited papers on a broad range of topics from numerical analysis. Papers treat each topic at a level intelligible by any numerical analyst from graduate student to professional.This is the second volume in the annual series, Acta Numerica, a collection of invited survey papers encompassing all aspects of numerical analysis. Following the success of the first volume, this year's papers cover many of the core topics in numerical methods today. Papers on annealing problems, parallel methods, domain decomposition, and multigrid methods will enable anyone with an interest in computational and mathematical numerics to quickly grasp the latest developments and emerging trends in this diverse subject.1. Continuation and path following Eugene L. Allgower and Kurt Georg; 2. Multivariate piecewise polynomials C. De Boor; 3. Parallel numerical linear algebra James W. Demmel, Michael T. Heath and Henk A. van der Vorst; 4. Linear stability analysis in the numerical solution of initial value problems J. L. M. van Dorsselaer, J. F. B. M. Kraaijevanger and M. N. Spijker; 5. Finite element solution of the NavierStokes equations Michael Fortin; 6. Old and new convergence proofs for multigrid methods Harry Yserentant.Review of the hardback: 'Acta Numerica is a fine achievement and I think we can expect to see it for many years to come. It sets itself laudable and important goals and has, to a large extent, achieve them. I believe that the volumes are of enormous benefit to our subject & The editorial bol“;
