This concise volume is the first in a self-contained five-volume series devoted to matrix algorithms. It focuses on the computation of matrix decompositions3/4, that is, the factorization of matrices into products of similar ones. The first two chapters provide the required background from mathematics and computer science needed to work ......
A Collaboration Between Academe and Industry, Student Edition
Statisticians know that the clean data sets that appear in textbook problems have little to do with real-life industry data. To better prepare their students for all types of statistical careers, academic statisticians now strive to use data sets from real-life statistical problems. This book contains 20 case studies that use actual data sets that ......
One of the main accomplishments of control in the 1980s was the development of a subject called H[infinity] control. This book teaches control system design using H[infinity] techniques. Students will find this book easy to use because it is conceptually simple. They will find it useful because of the widespread appeal of classical frequency ......
Computational Integration is the first book in over 10 years dedicated to a comprehensive discussion of computational integration methods and the fundamental mathematical principles they are based on. It gives special coverage of many recent developments, such as parallel integration algorithms, that have not yet been coherently presented in any ......
Solution of Large-Scale Eigenvalue Problems with Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Methods
A guide to understanding and using the software package ARPACK to solve large algebraic eigenvalue problems. The software described is based on the implicitly restarted Arnoldi method, which has been heralded as one of the three most important advances in large scale eigenanalysis in the past ten years. The book explains the acquisition, ......
Engineering reliability concerns failure data analysis, the economics of maintenance policies, and system reliability. This textbook develops the use of probability and statistics in engineering reliability and maintenance problems. The author uses probability models in the analysis of failure data, decision relative to planned maintenance, and ......
In this follow-up to Afternotes on Numerical Analysis (SIAM, 1996) the author continues to bring the immediacy of the classroom to the printed page. Like the original undergraduate volume, Afternotes goes to Graduate School is the result of the author writing down his notes immediately after giving each lecture; in this case the afternotes are the ......
According to Parlett, ""Vibrations are everywhere, and so too are the eigenvalues associated with them. As mathematical models invade more and more disciplines, we can anticipate a demand for eigenvalue calculations in an ever richer variety of contexts"". Anyone who performs these calculations will welcome the reprinting of Parlett's book ......
Here is an overview of modern computational stabilization methods for linear inversion, with applications to a variety of problems in audio processing, medical imaging, tomography, seismology, astronomy, and other areas. Rank-deficient problems involve matrices that are either exactly or nearly rank deficient. Such problems often arise in ......
