This textbook is designed for an undergraduate course in computational or experimental mathematics. Many of the most interesting and important topics in theoretical mathematics are both motivated and illuminated by computation. By using a computer to explore and investigate mathematical phenomena, students are encouraged to conduct experiments and ......
With Applications in Optical Wave Propagation and Imaging in Turbulence
The objective of this textbook is twofold-to introduce advanced novel mathematical techniques and then to use them to solve a variety of problems that may arise in various applications. The novel mathematical techniques, covered in Part I of the text, involve the use of generalized hypergeometric functions, including the Meijer G-function. We ......
Research on the Anderson Acceleration (AA) has exploded in the last 15 years. This book brings together these recent fundamental results applied to nonlinear solvers for PDEs, which are ubiquitous across mathematics, science, engineering, and economics as predictive models for a vast quantity of important phenomena. Coverage includes: AA ......
This monograph offers a comprehensive and accessible treatment of both classical and modern approaches to the stability analysis of nonlinear waves in Hamiltonian systems. Starting with a review of stability of equilibrium points and periodic orbits in finite-dimensional systems, it advances to the infinite-dimensional setting, addressing orbital ......
This new, considerably expanded edition covers the fundamentals of linear and nonlinear functional analysis, including distribution theory, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, calculus of variations, and degree theory. Numerous applications are included, especially to linear and nonlinear partial differential equations and to numerical ......
This comprehensive book focuses on numerical methods for approximating solutions to partial differential equations. Intended as a broad survey of methods, the aim is to introduce readers to the central concepts of various families of discretizations and solution algorithm and lay the foundation needed to understand more advanced material, The book ......
This self-contained textbook provides the foundations of linear optimization, covering topics in both continuous and discrete linear optimization. It gradually builds the connection between theory, algorithms, and applications so that readers gain a theoretical and algorithmic foundation, familiarity with a variety of applications, and the ability ......
Matrix eigenvalue problems arise in a wide variety of fields in science and engineering, so it is important to have reliable and efficient methods for solving them. Of the methods devised, bulge-chasing algorithms, such as the famous QR and QZ algorithms, are the most important. This book focuses on pole-swapping algorithms, a new class of methods ......
The book presents a solution to a problem in adaptive control design that was open for 40 years: robustification of disturbances without compromising asymptotic performance. This original methodology builds on foundational ideas, such as the use of a deadzone in the update law and nonlinear damping in the controller, and advances the tools for and ......
